HC Deb 05 December 1968 vol 774 cc534-5W
75. Sir G. Sinclair

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science, in view of the recent advances made in techniques of speech therapy, what steps he proposes to take to improve training, in this field.

Mr. Denis Howell

The course contents and standards of speech therapy training are primarily the responsibility of The College of Speech Therapy. I have such matters as the need for speech therapists, their functions and their training, under the closest consideration.
