from a Glasgow reader

60 trade unionists, 18 Labour Party representatives and 8 co-ap delegates attended a meeting on May 31st addressed by J. Millar, General Secretary of the NCLC. The size of the gathering and the tone of the discussion revealed the extent of concern about the new TUC education scheme. Attention was focussed particularly on the elimination of local participation and on the exclusion of the Labour Party from the plan. A resolution asking the TUC to rectify these points was passed unanimously and delegates pledged themselves to raise the issue in their own unions in order to make sure it was fully discussed by General Council and by Congress,

Most interesting was that criticisms of the new scheme ran slong with the same lines as those made at the WEA conference. If the two bodies could cooperate (as is occurring already in Hull), local resistance to the scheme would be greatly strengthened.
