§ Mr. Alfred Morrisasked the Secretary of State for Social Services what representation he has received from the student committee of the College of Speech Therapists concerning remuneration of speech therapists supervising students; what reply he is sending; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Kenneth ClarkeI have received a petition from the Student Committee of the College of Speech Therapists and National Union of Students about the payment of allowances to speech therapists supervising students on clinical placements. Payment of these allowances, where appropriate, is a matter for individual health authorities. They have been asked to honour an existing Whitley Council agreement and the Student Committee has been so advised.
