§ 43. Mr. McKayasked the Minister of Education if he is aware of the objections of the mayors of Hereford, Salisbury, Maidenhead and Winchester to the recommendations contained in the Roberts Report on the Public Library Service, regarding non-county boroughs; whether he has yet completed his discussions with interested parties on the recommendations contained in the Report; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Geoffrey LloydYes, Sir. I know about these objections, but I have not completed my discussions and cannot therefore make a statement now.
§ Mr. McKayIs the Minister aware that Wallsend is very proud indeed of its library and other organizations within the area? Is he aware of the very strong feeling of resentment about the Roberts Report? Will he give all these non-county boroughs every opportunity to express their view points on this subject?
