§ 24. Mr. M. Stewartasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Education what plans he has for the training of full-time youth leaders.
§ Sir E. BoyleMy noble Friend is continuing to help Swansea University College and Westhill Training College to provide courses for this purpose.
§ Mr. StewartDid the Parliamentary Secretary notice, when he addressed a 353 conference recently, that there is much concern amongst those active in the youth movement about the provision of proper training and standard of qualifications for full-time youth leaders?
§ Sir E. BoyleYes, Sir; we keep these matters very closely under review, and I did notice what the hon. Member has referred to. We debated this subject in the House not long ago. As the hon. Member knows, my noble Friend's policy is to rely, as in the past, mainly on voluntary and part-time youth leaders.
