HC Deb 17 December 1964 vol 704 c119W
80. Mr. Awdry

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what steps he intends to take to improve the facilities for the education of deaf children.

Mr. Prentice

The first need is to train more teachers of the deaf. Many improvements are impeded by the present shortage. My right hon. Friend is reviewing demand and hopes to consult the two universities concerned with training in the New Year. Additional courses may be required.
