HC Deb 14 March 1957 vol 566 cc1301-2
33. Mr. M. Stewart

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Education whether, in view of the coming increase in the number of young people between the ages of 15 and 17 years, he will invite local education authorities to prepare plans for the further education of adolescents.

Sir E. Boyle

The White Paper on Technical Education included a five-year programme for the expansion of further education at all levels. Plans are being worked out with local education authorities and much work is already in progress.
