HC Deb 30 November 1966 vol 737 cc117-8W
Mr. O'Malley

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science whom he proposes to appoint as Chairman of the National Advisory Council on Education for Industry and Commerce for its next term of office.

Mr. Crosland

I am glad to be able to say that Sir Joseph Hunt has accepted appointment as Chairman of the National Advisory Council in succession to Sir Harry Pilkington who has held the appointment since 1956 and now wishes to relinquish it. I should like to pay tribute to the outstanding contribution which Sir Harry and the Council have made to the development of further education during this critically important period.
