HC Deb 16 July 1959 vol 609 c54W
75. Mr. Moyle

asked the Under-Secretary of State for Commonwealth Relations if he will make a statement on the composition of the Commonwealth Education Conference; and on what bases the representatives were appointed.

Mr. Alport

Each country is, of course, responsible for choosing its own delegates. So far as the United Kingdom is concerned, the aim has been to include representatives with knowledge of the main divisions of education in this country and with experience of the needs of the other parts of the Commonwealth.
