asked the Minister of Education what action he has taken, or proposes to take, to give effect to the recommendation of the Special Committee on Education for Management that a committee of inquiry should visit the United States to investigate and report on the facilities for education in management in that country.

Negotiations for the development of education for management are now being carried on between my Department and the British Institute of Management. I do not consider it desirable to send a committee of inquiry to the United States at the moment, but the possibility of such a visit at an appropriate time will be borne in mind.
