HC Deb 16 November 1925 vol 188 c19
35. Colonel DAY

asked the President of the Board of Education whether he contemplates taking any action following the recent decision of the Bootle Education Committee, who have decided to make regulations that will not allow teachers any latitude in so far as religious teaching is concerned; and whether the printed regulations of the Bootle Council will be subject to his revision before such instruction operates?

The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the BOARD OF EDUCATION (Duchess of Atholl)

The decision referred to by the hon. and gallant Member has not been communicated by the Authority to my Department, nor is my right hon. Friend aware of any reason why it should have been. He does not propose to take any action.
