§ Mr. K. Lindsayasked the Minister of Education how many men and women, respectively, are undergoing recognised courses for youth training and in which universities and university colleges; what are the comparable figures for the two previous years; and what arrangements are being made for the future training of such men and women, especially those over the age of 20 years and who are married, when the further education and training grants are no longer available.
§ Mr. TomlinsonThe reply to the first part of this Question is given in the table below. The answer to the second part of the question is that the future training of youth leaders and community centre wardens is at present under consideration by a committee of officers of my Department and I propose to await their recommendations.
