HC Deb 30 November 1961 vol 650 cc603-4
14. Mr. Robert Cooke

asked the Minister of Education, in view of the possibility of increased trade with Europe, what steps he is taking to improve the teaching of commercial subjects useful in the export trade.

Sir D. Eccles

I give all the support I can to commercial and technical colleges who are ready to add new courses to meet the demand. It is important that exporting firms should work out their future needs in good time so that classes may be organised and used to maximum advantage.

Mr. Cooke

What advice is my right hon. Friend taking from those actually engaged in the export trade who are helping him in this project?

Sir D. Eccles

I am constantly talking to industry about further education courses.
