§ 41. Mr. Hamlingasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science whether he will now make a statement on the administration of technical colleges.
§ Mr. CroslandI would refer my hon, Friend to the White Paper, "A Plan for Polytechnics and Other Colleges", which was published last Tuesday. If my hon. Friend has government of colleges particularly in mind, I would refer him to paragraph 25 of the White Paper.
§ Mr. HamlingWhile welcoming my right hon. Friend's White Paper, may I 715 ask him to take steps to see that his real views on technical education are made known, as against the legends which are so often printed?
§ Mr. CroslandI have profound sympathy with that reference to the debate on the binary system—the so-called debate which, to put it mildly, has often not been on a very high level of either intellect or accuracy.
