HC Deb 07 August 1941 vol 373 c2083
37. Sir John Mellor

asked the President of the Board of Education whether he will arrange for schools in rural districts, and especially schools attended by evacuees from towns, to give instruction upon the importance of respect for growing crops and of closing gates?

Mr. Butler

A leaflet prepared by the Ministry of Agriculture on the prevention of damage to growing crops has just been sent by the Board to local education authorities with a request that they will assist in making its contents known to schoolchildren throughout the country. I am sending my hon. Friend a copy.
