HC Deb 05 December 1968 vol 774 cc523-4W
32. Mr. Bryant Godman Irvine

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science why the findings of the Committee, under the Chairmanship of Mr. A. N. Fairbairn, on Schools, Further Education and the Youth Service, have not yet been published; and if he will make a statement.

60. Mr. Charles Morrison

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science whether he will now make a statement on the future of the Youth Service, following the reports of the Milsom and Fairbairn Committees to the Youth Service Development Council.

Mr. Denis Howell

The Youth Service Development Council appointed two Committees of its own members, under Mr. Fairbairn and Dr. Milsom respectively to report upon the relationship of the Youth Service to schools and further education, and to adult community. The council now intends to produce a consolidated paper on the future of the Youth Service as a whole, which we intend should form the basis of public discussion. I hope that this document will be available in the late spring of 1969.
