863 Mr. Rabbitte asked the Minister for Education and Science when the White Paper on adult education and literacy, as promised before the end of 1997, will be published; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [1437/98]
I had initially intended to publish a Green Paper on adult education by the end of 1997 but because of the amount of work involved this was not possible. However, I am anxious that it should be published as soon as possible, and by Easter 1998 at the latest. The Green Paper will be followed by a White Paper later in the year.
