§ MR. PULESTONasked the Vice President of the Council, Whether the Government have approved the Report of the Departmental Committee on Education in Wales; and, whether he can state that a measure to give effect to its recommendations will be shortly introduced?
§ MR. MUNDELLAThe hon. Member for Devonport asks whether the Government have approved the Report of the Departmental Committee on Education in Wales. My answer is that the Government propose to legislate on the lines of that Report, and have announced their intention to do so in Her Majesty's Speech at the opening of Parliament. In a later Question my hon. Friend the Member for Merthyr (Mr. Richard) asks me whether I expect soon to introduce the promised measure. I can only say that we shall be ready to introduce the measure as soon as there appears any reasonable prospect of making progress with it.
