Mr. K. Lindsay
asked the Minister of Education whether he has yet given any terms of reference to the Advisory Council and what they are.
Mr. Tomlinson
In October, 1946, I agreed with the Central Advisory Council for England that they should investigate and report to me upon "The Educational needs of the Young Worker." At my request the Council are just about to undertake an inquiry covered by the following terms of reference:
"To consider and report on the natural interests and pursuits of school children out of school hours; the provision made for these outside their homes; the value of such provision and the desirability of further or different provision; and the extent to which school work and activities can and should be related to and develop these interests."
