§ 57. Mr. Molloyasked the Minister of Overseas Development what further progress has been made in acquainting school leavers of opportunities to serve in overseas development; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. OramMy Department and the voluntary societies continually inform young people of opportunities for service in developing countries. Since my reply of 8th February to my hon. Friend, officials of my Department have given 74 talks to institutions of higher education, professional associations, and schools.
New material for schools includes a map folder illustrating British aid and a booklet on Britain's contribution to the work of U.N.E.S.C.O. My Department is taking part in the "Engineers Day" exhibition at the Science Museum, and has produced a special pamphlet for the occasion. A portable exhibition stand is in preparation for loan to functions organised by youth employment officers and others. I will let my hon. Friend have copies of the publications I have mentioned. —[Vol. 724, c. 182.]
