asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what action has been taken to implement the Weston-Ellis Report on technical training in East Africa.

This Report in general prepared the way for the East African Governments to draw up their individual plans for technical education and vocational training. My Adviser on Technical Education has just returned from a tour during which he advised the East African Governments on these plans. I fully recognise the great importance of technical and vocational education in East Africa and shall hope to be in a position to make a statement later.
