§ Mr. OakesWe shall be looking closely during the current debate on education at ways in which co-operation between schools and industry might be improved. My right hon. Friend has already met representatives of the TUC and asked them for their views on these important matters, and will shortly be having similar discussions with the CBI. Representatives of local employers and trade unions will be invited to participate in the regional conferences to be held in February and March 1977 about school education.
