HC Deb 04 December 1945 vol 416 cc2078-9
18. Mr. Goodrich

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether, in view of the national importance of the matters dealt with and the valuable suggestions contained in the Report of the Scottish Youth Advisory Committee on the News of Youth in these Times, published by his predecessor on 11th May, 1945, at Is. 6d., he will consider, in consultation with the Minister of Education, jointly publishing copies of such Report either free or at a lower price, and their circulation free of charge to all statutory and voluntary bodies interested.

Mr. Fraser

Copies of this report have already been issued free of charge to all education authorities and national youth organisations in Scotland. The question whether a similar free issue should be made in England and Wales, is primarily a matter for my right hon. Friend the Minister of Education. The report has already been put on sale by the Stationery Office in England and Wales as well as in Scotland.

Mr. Maxton

Will the Under-Secretary take steps to make this valuable publication into a Parliamentary Paper?

Mr. Fraser

I will have that suggestion looked into.
