HC Deb 05 December 1968 vol 774 c523W
31. Mr. Channon

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what steps he proposes to take to provide additional public library facilities to enable libraries to deal with the extra demand which will arise as a result of the establishment of the Open University.

Miss Jennie Lee

Arrangements for providing any extra facilities specially for Open University students will need to be discussed between the University, the library authorities and where appropriate other bodies such as those concerned with inter-library co-operation.

38. Mr. Hooley

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what steps he is taking to keep the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation informed of the experience being gained in establishing the Open University.

Miss Jennie Lee

U.N.E.S.C.O. is kept informed of progress in the planning of the Open University through the United Kingdom Delegation in Paris and through contact with U.N.E.S.C.O. officials who visit the United Kingdom from time to time.
