HC Deb 02 April 1974 vol 871 cc302-3W
32. Mr. Boyden

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will complete his consultations with the bodies concerned in carrying out the Russell Report on adult education within the next few months.

47. Mr. D. E. Thomas

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what plans he has for implementing the recommendations of the report by the Committee on Adult Education.

Mr. Gerry Fowler

My right hon. Friend is anxious to make progress in these directions, but he needs time to study the resource implications of the report's recommendations in the light of our present economic problems and of the prospects for public expenditure on education.
