Schools Council (National Association of Teachers of Wales)

HC Deb 09 June 1964 vol 696 cc52-3W

Mr. J. Morris

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what representations have been received by the Secretary of the Working Party of the Schools' Council for Curricula and Examinations regarding representation on the Welsh Committee thereof from the National Association of Teachers of Wales; and what replies have been sent to them.

Mr. Hogg

The Secretary of the Working Party on the Schools' Curricula and Examinations received a letter, dated 11th May, 1964, from the General Secretary of the National Association of Teachers of Wales expressing disappointment that no offer of representation on the Welsh Committee of the proposed Schools Council had been made to the Association, and asking whether the Working Party would be willing to reconsider the matter. These representations were received after the publication of the Report of the Working Party, and the Association were informed that the Report had already been submitted to me and that it would shortly be considered at a reconvened meeting of the parties responsible for the establishment of the Working Party.
