HC Deb 01 February 1968 vol 757 c369W
11. Mr. Gurden

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science why no practising librarian has been invited to serve on the Dainton Committee on National Libraries.

Mr. Gordon Walker

It seemed to me best to have a small independent committee which could work as fast as possible. Librarians and other experts will have every opportunity to give evidence, but if they had been included on the committee it would have had to be considerably larger.
