§ 41. Sir HENRY CRAIKasked the President of the Board of Trade whether he is aware that a large number of teachers, both male and female, who are prevented by their duties from co-operating permanently in the national efforts required by the present crisis, are anxious, during their summer holidays, to contribute some assistance to the common work; and whether it would be possible for the Board of Trade, with the co-operation of the Board of Education and the Scotch Education Department, to arrange to give these teachers an opportunity of rendering temporary assistance in various capacities for which they are qualified?
Mr. RUNCIMANMy attention has already been called to the desire of some of the teachers in England and Scotland to undertake work during their summer holiday. I will, as suggested, consult the Board of Education and the Scottish Education Department further on this point.
