HC Deb 02 August 1962 vol 664 c133W
Mr. Brockway

asked the Minister of Education if he will advise local education authorities to provide for colleges of further education and elsewhere to train widows for commercial, industrial, professional and public service occupations.

Sir E. Boyle

Many colleges already provide courses which would be suitable for women wishing to enter or return to employment outside their homes. I welcome this, and I am sure that, without any advice from me, local education authorities and colleges will always be ready to make additional provision where there is a sufficient demand.
