HC Deb 15 March 1963 vol 673 cc207-8W
Mr. Boyden

asked the Minister of Education what increases of full-time staff employed by the responsible bodies for adult education he proposes to finance in the 1963–64 session.

Sir E. Boyle

I hope that the funds at my disposal will enable me to approve about 12 additional full-time appointments.

Mr. Boyden

asked the Minister of Education what increase of fees for part-time tutors employed by the responsible bodies for adult education he proposes to finance in the 1963–64 Session.

Sir E. Boyle

The normal range of the fees which would be acceptable for grant purposes is being improved from £4-£7 to £5-£10 for part-time tutors employed by the University Extra-Mural Departments, and from £2-£4 to £3-£6 for those employed by the Workers' Education Association. These improvements have been recommended by the Universities Council for Adult Education and the W.E.A. respectively.
