§ 42. Mr. Goronwy Robertsasked the Minister of Education how many education authorities in Wales and Monmouth shire have now a full-time further education officer; and how many have not.
§ Mr. TomlinsonThe appointment of education officers other than chief education officers and the allocation of duties to such officers, are matters for the discretion of individual local education authorities, and I have no complete information.
§ Mr. RobertsIn view of the importance, particularly to Wales, of a full county college provision, will my right hon. Friend consider bringing a certain amount of pressure to bear upon the educational authorities to make a full-time appointment?
§ Mr. TomlinsonI have no evidence that the local authorities are not giving full consideration to this matter. The fact is that I have not full information as to the numbers actually employed.
