HC Deb 18 April 1978 vol 948 c76W
29. Mr. Pavitt

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what plans she has made to secure the maximum participation within England and Wales of activities concerned with the campaign to combat illiteracy on 8th September, as part of the worldwide International Literacy Day.

Mr. Oakes

None, as I consider that the crucial need for literacy tuition both in schools and adult education is best promoted on a continuing basis through post-Bullock initiatives in our schools and the whole adult literacy campaign. The arrangements for Wales are a matter for my right hon. and learned Friend the Secretary of State for Wales.
