HC Deb 12 July 1956 vol 556 cc50-1W
83. Mr. M. Stewart

asked the Minister of Education what plans he is making to promote the pursuit of liberal education among persons engaged in technical and vocational studies.

Sir D. Eccles

This matter is being widely discussed, and interesting ideas are being put forward. I am considering various possibilities. In particular, I want to encourage more and longer full-time and sandwich courses, because these can provide the best opportunities for giving technical students a liberal education.
