HC Deb 30 October 1970 vol 805 c227W
Mr. Dempsey

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if, in view of the voluntary work done by children's playgroup supervisors, he will take steps to establish recognised qualifications and introduce weekend courses of studies whereby these persons may qualify.

Mr. Gordon Campbell

Short courses for children's playgroup organisers from all parts of Scotland have recently been introduced by my Department, and a variety of courses for playgroup supervisors and mother helpers is held locally. I intend to have further consultations with the interests concerned on the question of qualifications for those who work in this field.
