HC Deb 03 July 1969 vol 786 c123W
54. Mr. Hugh Jenkins

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science, in view of the fact that the annual output of drama students from recognised and unrecognised schools who are seeking work as professional performers is more than three times the number that the entertainment industry can absorb, if he will institute an inquiry into the matter.

Mrs. Shirley Williams

No. My Department has no direct responsibility for these schools which are independent establishments for professional training in drama.
