HC Deb 18 April 1957 vol 568 c221W
35 and 36. Mr. Dodds

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Education (1) if he will take up the space offered to his Department at the Festival of Women for the purpose of making a display designed to encourage girls to take up technical courses to be followed by careers in industry;

(2) in what way his Department is co-operating in the task of ensuring that the Festival of Women is a success.

Sir E. Boyle

The organisers of this Festival hope to arrange an exhibit concerned with the further education of girls. The Department is in touch with them on this proposal, but my noble Friend did not feel able to accept the offer of free space in view of the cost involved in making use of it.
