26. Mrs. Organ

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment if he will make a statement on plans for the national year of reading. [48114]

Mr. Byers

We are planning to launch the National Year of Reading on 16 September. It will be supported by large numbers of private and public sector organisations, and will be linked to a major media campaign to encourage reading. Detailed information can be found at the National Year of Reading website on www.yearofreading.org.uk.
