I propose to take Questions Nos. 28, 40, 44, 67, 86 and 103 together.

The Primary Curriculum Review Body is representative of a wide range of interests and it was necessary, when it was being constituted, to limit the number of members to reasonable proportions. It was in this context that the National Parents' Council were allowed one place on the review body. Management and teacher representation on the review body span a number of representative bodies in each case.
