HC Deb 13 June 1973 vol 857 cc326-7W
42. Sir G. de Freitas

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science whether she will now implement the recommendations of the Russell Report on Adult Education.

Mr. Adam Butler

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science when she now expects to implement the proposals in the Russell Report on Adult Education; and if she will make a statement.

Mr. St. John-Stevas

My right hon. Friend is giving this full and detailed report careful consideration but, before reaching decisions on the recommendations addressed to her, she intends to have discussions with the local authority associations, the relevant teachers' associations and representatives of the other main interests in adult education. She hopes to arrange these discussions shortly.
