asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will list the three most recent dates on which a Minister or Under-Secretary of State of his Department last visited the Falmouth-Camborne constituency; and if he will send a Minister or an Under-Secretary of State to the constituency to assess the problems that exist there and to seek to remedy those falling within the responsibility of his Department.

Since the present Government took office on March 1974 no Minister of my Department has paid an official visit to the constituency of Falmouth and Camborne, There are no present plans for any such future visit. I shall, of course, be very willing to consider any particular matters falling within my sphere of responsibility about which the hon. Member might wish to write to me.
