HC Deb 20 July 1972 vol 841 c156W
Mr. Barry Jones

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if she will make a statement on the facilities available in polytechnics for men and women in the sphere of careers guidance, including a reference to the number of officially designated careers guidance staff.

Mr. van Straubenzee

The information available to my Department indicates that careers guidance services are available to students in about three-quarters of the polytechnics. Some of the remaining polytechnics have plans to begin a service during 1972–73.
