§ 4. Mr. Wallasked the Secretary for Technical Co-operation whether he will now make a statement about the Report of the Committee on Training in Public Administration for Overseas Countries.
§ Mr. VosperYes, Sir. I have received the Committee's Report, and I should like to say how grateful I am to the members for all the work that they have put into it. It will be published on 29th March as a non-Parliamentary paper. I have already asked my Department to study it, to make all necessary consultations and to advise me on the action needed. That will be done as quickly as possible. Meanwhile, however, I have thought it right to publish the Report, so that interested parties outside Government Departments might have the earliest possible opportunity to study it and comment on it.
§ Mr. WallWill there be plenty of time for discussion and consultation before the Government make up their mind about the recommendations in the Report?
§ Mr. VosperYes. I will, however, be grateful if interested bodies will submit their comments as soon as possible, because the Report contains many worthwhile recommendations which should be implemented as soon as possible and I should like to act as quickly as I am able to on the Porritt Report on Medical Services.
