§ Mr. Llewellynasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Education what recent advice he has received from the Welsh Joint Education Committee; and whether, in considering the recommendation of the Advisory Council for Wales and Monmouthshire on educational policy, he will bear in mind that the views of the Welsh Joint Education Committee were not invited.
§ Sir E. BoyleThe Welsh Joint Education Committee has asked my noble Friend to consider the appointment of a permanent Welsh speaking officer in the Cardiff office of the Welsh Department to act as deputy permanent secretary of the Welsh Department of the Ministry. The committee has also recommended that responsibility for special services and the training of teachers in Wales should be transferred to the Welsh Department. The Government will certainly give full weight to these recommendations.
