§ 12. Mr. Prenticeasked the Minister of Education what youth organisations of the United Kingdom were represented at the meeting of the World Assembly of Youth in New Delhi last year which adopted the Young Workers' Charter.
§ Sir E. BoyleThe British delegation was provided by the British National Committee of the World Assembly of Youth, which represents most of the national youth organisations of the United Kingdom. I am circulating in the OFFICIAL REPORT a list of the members of the delegation.
§ Mr. PrenticeWhile thanking the Minister for that reply, may I ask him to give the House an assurance that the Assembly continues to have the Government's support in its aims and in the valuable work which it does in bringing together the representatives of young people of fifty-six nations? Is his Department looking at the part of the Young Workers' Charter on further education, and will he draw the attention of his colleagues to the parts which concern them?
§ Sir E. BoyleI, too, thought that it was of great interest. I gather that the Young Workers' Charter has been referred to the International Labour Office, but we shall take fully into account that part which concerns us.
