Staff of the voluntary societies which send out the volunteers make overseas visits for this purpose.

British Embassies and High Commissions keep in touch with the volunteers and their work and the British Council looks after the volunteers sent out by one of the societies, namely V.S.O.

Projects are settled by the Lockwood Committee and my Department in consultation on the request of overseas Governments.

With regard to reports, I recognise the interest of the House in this matter and I will be consulting the Lockwood Committee.
