HC Deb 04 March 1971 vol 812 cc497-8W
43. Mr. Wilkinson

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science whether she will encourage the establishment of short courses in community relations in colleges of education for teachers in areas of high immigrant settlement.

Mr. van Straubenzee

I agree with my hon. Friend that more courses of this nature would be valuable. They supply of courses could be augmented quickly if the effective demand existed. A memorandum sent to colleges and local authorities last year drew attention to the need for more in-service training in this field.
