HC Deb 24 January 1963 vol 670 c92W
47. Mr. G. Thomas

asked the Minister of Education which proposals applicable to Wales of the Public Libraries Working Party Report he proposes to accept; and whether he will make a statement.

Mr. Chataway

My right hon. Friend is considering the recommendations applicable to Wales in the Report on "Standards of Public Library Service" which was one of the two reports published just before Christmas. My right hon. Friend has asked the Regional Committees to let him have, by the 1st April, if possible, their views on the recommendations in the Report on "Inter-Library Co-operation" about the re-organisation of regional areas in England and Wales.
