HC Deb 11 June 1964 vol 696 cc94-5W
Mr. Millan

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what discussions he has had with a view to establishing a joint negotiating body for settling the salaries and conditions of service of community centre wardens; and when he expects such a body to be established.

Mr. Hogg

I have held discussions with the National Federation of Community Associations and the Society of Neighbourhood Workers and I am in consultation with the Local Authority Associations about setting up negotiating machinery.

Mr. Millan

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what courses are at present available in England and Wales for the training of community centre wardens; and what proposals he has for the extension of such courses.

Mr. Hogg

A two-year full-time course for training community centre wardens is provided at Westhill Training College, Birmingham. I have no present plans for the extension of such courses.
