§ 60. Mr. Hector Hughesasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will make a statement on the working of the Heyworth Committee 1964 Report recommendations indicating how far each of them has been implemented and also indicating how many careers advisory officers were in consequence appointed in Scottish universities; and whether that number accords with the ratio recommended by that Report.
§ Mrs. Shirley WilliamsThis report was prepared by Nuffield College, Oxford, and published by the University Grants Committee. Its implementation is in the hands of the universities. I understand that they have given it a great deal of attention, but the detailed information sought is not available.
§ Mr. HughesWill my hon. Friend consider taking steps to increase the number of careers advisers in Aberdeen University, having regard to the phenomenal success of that university, and the numbers of students there?
§ Mrs. WilliamsI am sure that Aberdeen University will take close note of what my hon. and learned Friend has just said.
