HC Deb 28 November 1962 vol 668 c376
6. Mr. E. Johnson

asked the Secretary of State for Air in what subjects appointments to the Specialist Teacher Scheme in the education branch of the Royal Air Force are now being made; and whether he will consider extending the scheme to include arts graduates.

Mr. H. Fraser

The current subjects are mathematics, physics, aerodynamics, thermodynamics, electronics, and electrical, mechanical and control engineering. The possibility of extending the scheme to arts subjects is being considered.

Mr. Johnson

While thanking my right hon. Friend for that reply, may I ask whether he can indicate when he is likely to be able to announce his plans for the arts graduates?

Mr. Fraser

The next meeting of our advisory council is in January, and the question will be considered by it then.
