HC Deb 30 November 1936 vol 318 c843
62. Mr. E. SMITH

asked the President of the Board of Education the names of pottery firms who have received orders or will receive orders from the board for Coronation pottery?

The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the BOARD of EDUCATION (Mr. Shakespeare)

In so far as it may be decided to give commemorative pottery to school children in connection with the Coronation, the orders will be given not by the board but by the responsible authorities of the schools. I hope that in such cases the articles chosen will be of British origin.
