Description

See also AV769/322/S1. The report on the controversial Berkshire Mediterranean schools cruise row has been officially published today. County chief executive Robert Gash had been ordered to carry out an inquiry into the allocation of free places on the two-week Mediterranean cruise after it was revealed two of the places had been taken by the Chairman of the education committee and his wife. The 900 youngsters on the liner had each paid 270 pounds for the trip, and the wives and husbands of teachers who went along, 600 pounds. Also among the party of administrators who travelled free were the county’s Director of Education and his wife. Phil Coope reports on inquiry’s findings. [Box 3]
