HC Deb 15 July 1975 vol 895 c443W
27. Mr. Gwilym Roberts

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what steps he proposes to take to ensure that there is an increase in the number of young people obtaining day release from employment during the coming academic session; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Mulley

I attach high priority to educational provision for this purpose, and I am considering possible ways of making progress in difficult economic circumstances. Careful development work on suitable curricula needs to be undertaken before a substantial extension of day release opportunities can be achieved.
