asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he is satisfied about the present arrangements for the education of subnormal persons who have reached the age of 19 years; and if he will make a statement on what improvements he intends to make to ensure that better educational facilities are provided for these persons.

An increasing number of local education authorities is providing some facilities for the further education of the mentally handicapped. The Warnock Committee will no doubt include in its report, in due course, recommendations about the scale and nature of the facilities required.
