HC Deb 13 February 1941 vol 368 c1495
26. Dr. Little

asked the Minister of Health whether arrangements have been made to provide religious instruction for evacuee children from England who have been, and are being, sent to Southern Ireland according to the Church to which their parents belong; and, if not, whether he will take immediate steps to see that suitable arrangements are made for this purpose?

Mr. E. Brown

Under the arrangements agreed with the Government of Eire, children are being evacuated to that country only if accompanied by their mothers. The question of the religious instruction of the children is one for the parents who accompany them.
