HC Deb 11 December 1973 vol 866 c73W
36. Mr. Edwin Wainwright

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if she will give the number of sub-normal persons, over the age of 19 years, in the West Riding County Council area whose educational needs are being catered for; how many such persons are now on the waiting list; and if she will make a statement on her plans to provide adequate educational facilities for such people.

Mr. Raison

I am not able to supply the figures, which are not collected by the Department. My right hon. Friend is considering the Russell Committee's recommendations on the disadvantaged in her study of its report "Adult Education: A Plan for Development".
