asked the Minister for Education the number of vocational education committees in the country giving representation to elected representatives of parents' organisations.
Written Answers. - Parents' Representatives on VECs.
648.
The Minister for Education is not in a position to require local rating authorities to elect representatives of parents' organisations to vocational education committees. Local authorities were recommended to do so in a circular issued in July 1985, but the information available in my Department does not indicate that any local authority has so far done so.
