HC Deb 02 December 1948 vol 458 c2164
36. Mr. Wilson Harris

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he proposes to adopt the recommendations of the departmental committee on grants for the development of marriage guidance.

Mr. Ede

The recommendations are being examined and I hope to be able to make a statement at an early date.

Mr. Wilson Harris

Will the right hon. Gentleman and his Department retain some degree of responsibility in this matter, or is it likely to be handed over to other organisations?

Mr. Ede

The report has only been published this week and at the moment, while I am studying it, I am not prepared to give any indication of policy.
