§ Mr. John Stradling ThomasI have no plans to receive a delegation from the Association of Polytechnic Teachers in Wales. However, officials of the Department met representatives of the association on 13 June to discuss this subject and the future of the Wales Advisory Body for Local Authority Higher Education. I have seen a note of that meeting.
