§ 58. Mr. Boydenasked the Minister of Education if, in view of the shortage of physical training teachers and the possibility that 400 suitable women candidates for places in physical training colleges are unlikely to gain admission in September, 1960, he will consult with the Service Ministers to make arrangements for some of these candidates to be temporarily accommodated by the Service Departments and receive part of their initial training in conjunction with the Services physical training courses.
§ Sir D. EcclesNo. I do not think this form of improvisation is needed. The colleges of physical education and general colleges with specialist facilities in the subject have already accepted over 600 suitable students for the coming year and other general colleges with main courses in physical education are considering the remaining candidates.
