§ 19. Mr. KINGasked the President of the Board of Education whether he will communicate with local education authorities with a view to school holidays being so dated and arranged as to allow the use of the holidays by teachers and scholars in haymaking, harvesting, fruit-gathering, and other suitable work?
§ The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the BOARD of EDUCATION (Mr. Herbert Lewis)The local education authorities are, I am sure, fully alive to the desirability of making arrangements such as are suggested by my hon. Friend, and I do not think any action on my part is called for. A circular on the subject was issued in July last year.
