§ Mr. Robert Cookeasked the Secretary of State for Education and Scince why his Department took until April, 1967, to reply to a letter, details of which have been given to him, concerning a routine matter within his responsibility, sent in September, 1966.
§ Mrs. Shirley WilliamsI regret that, partly owing to shortages of staff, this case was seriously mishandled. Replies were sent to the persons concerned on 19th and 25th April.
