The Committee on the Development of Day Release (Henniker-Heaton Committee) was set up by the Minister of Education because there was official concern that the number of young persons in full time employment who attended general further education courses was not increasing as much as had been hoped.
The first meeting held in July 1962 recommended that a formal committee should be set up to look into this matter. The formal committee met later in July and was chaired by C Henniker Heaton, Director of the British Spinners' and Doubles' Association and a a member of the Industrial Education and Training Committee of the British Employers Confederation. Other members of the committee were drawn from national industrial organisations, local education authorities, technical college staff, county councils (including the London County Council) and trade union organisations. The secretary and a number of observers were supplied by the Further Education Branch of the Ministry of Education.
The Committee's terms of reference required them to report on what steps ought to be taken to bring about the maximum practicable increase in the number of students under eighteen years old granted day release for non-vocational education. The committee asked for written evidence from the bodies represented on the committee and a press release invited comments from interested persons.
The committee met on 10 occasions and was wound up in February 1964. The committee's report was published in April 1964.
