HC Deb 26 January 1961 vol 633 c53W
89. Mr. Longden

asked the Minister of Education what measures he proposes to encourage the development of voluntary day releases.

Sir D. Eccles

I hope that the pattern of new courses announced in the White Paper "Better Opportunities in Technical Education" will encourage the schools, the technical colleges and employers to co-operate more closely and fruitfully. For the future, I am exploring with industry and with the local authorities the possibility of giving workers under 18 a right to claim day-release.
