Hmi Review Of Technology Orders

EDM number 519 in 1992-93, proposed by Edward O'Hara on 15/07/1992.

That this House notes with concern reports in the Press that there is a strong possibility that the subject of food will be removed from the current technology orders; notes also the increased incidence of food related illnesses, radically changing work patterns and restricted family budgets; believes therefore that children should have the opportunity at school to acquire information and develop sound practice in nutrition, food hygiene, safety and preparation; recognises also the many opportunities offered by the study of food for attainment targets and programmes of study for National Curriculum technology; and urges therefore that the subject of food should be retained as part of the curriculum to which every pupil is entitled under the Education Reform Act.

This motion has been signed by a total of 43 MPs.
