§ 38. Mr. Stonehouseasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Education what encouragement was given by his Department, through educational institutions and establishments in the United Kingdom, to graduates in higher technical subjects to apply for appointments as lecturers with the Copperbelt Technical Foundation of Northern Rhodesia.
§ Sir E. BoyleResponsibility for higher education in the Federation rests with the Federal Government, and any assistance with recruitment could only be on the invitation of the Federal Government or of the Foundation. Neither the Government nor the Foundation has approached my Department.
§ Mr. StonehouseWould not the Parliamentary Secretary agree that this institution in one of the Commonwealth countries is a most important one, and that it is important that graduates from this country should play a part in it?
§ Sir E. BoyleOf course this is an important matter, but the supplementary question raises rather wider considerations.
