HC Deb 08 August 1980 vol 990 cc353-4W
Mr. Hudson Davies

asked the Secretary of State of Wales what measures he is taking or proposes to take, financially or otherwise, to support adult literacy schemes in Wales.

Mr. Michael Roberts

The Government are supporting financially the adult literacy and basic skills unit which has been set up to provide a focus for the development of work in literacy, numeracy and other associated basic skills. I understand that the unit is sponsoring a number of schemes in Wales including a development project related to the Welsh referral service.
