§ 30. Mr. MANDERasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Board of Education the number and names of education committees which send, or allow to be sent, children regularly to camps through out the summer; and whether in any cases classes are held at, or in connection with, these camps?
§ The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the BOARD of EDUCATION (Mr. Ramsbotham)During recent years camp schools, held during term time and providing regular instruction for the children in them, have been provided in a number of areas. A number of school camps have also been conducted in the summer holidays. There is no requirement in the case of these holiday camps that regular instruction should be provided. My Noble Friend is sending the hon. Member a list of the 29 local education authorities who are known to the Board to have sent children to camp schools during 1932, and of the 28 areas in which holiday camps are known to have been held.
