§ Mrs. Shirley WilliamsThis Report contains the result of research instituted by the Technical College Resources Committee of the National Advisory Council on Education for Industry and Commerce into the application of costing and other financial techniques as a contribution to the more effective use of resources. As paragraphs 78–80 of it indicate, the question of the size of classes and the approval of courses has been the subject of an earlier report by the Committee, I am sending my hon.
