§ 43. Mr. Grimondasked the Secretary of State for Social Services whether it is intended that as far as Scotland is concerned it should be permanently served only by an assistant director at the Central Council, subordinate to the director in London, and not through a director of its own.
§ Sir K. JosephThe Central Council for Education and Training in Social Work has been established by Act of Parliament to promote social work training throughout the United Kingdom and has appointed a single director to be responsible to it over the whole range of its functions. It has no plans to appoint a separate director for Scotland. In addition, however, to the proposed appointment of an assistant director for Scotland, the Council already has a Scottish Advisory Committee, statutorily appointed by my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Scotland and consisting of a chairman and eleven other members, of whom the chairman and five members must be members of the council.
