Education, Health and Other Services

HC Deb 21 July 1964 vol 699 cc41-2W

36. Mr. Sorensen

asked the Secretary of State for Commonwealth Relations and the Colonies what plans are now being considered to promote closer common Commonwealth assistance in respect of educational, health and other services.

Mr. Sandys

As the hon. Member is aware, the Commonwealth Prime Ministers, at their recent meeting, endorsed a number of proposals for closer assistance in respect of educational, health and other services, and directed officials of their Governments to examine these proposals further.

The progress made by officials will be reviewed at the Commonwealth Education Conference in August and the Commonwealth Economic Consultative Council in September.
