HC Deb 14 February 1963 vol 671 cc220-1W
11. Mr. Dalyell

asked the Minister of Education if he will commission the National Foundation for Educational Research to conduct an objective study of the value of language laboratories.

Sir E. Boyle

No, not at present. Her Majesty's Inspectors on my behalf as well as many other people are watching this interesting development carefully, and I think it would be preferable to encourage further experiments before considering a commission of the kind the hon. Member has in mind. I already grant aid the Educational Foundation for Visual Aids which is one of the pioneers in language laboratories.
