HC Deb 22 April 1943 vol 388 c1813
34. Mr. Lindsay

asked the President of the Board of Education to what extent he is being consulted about action arising from the Report of the Luxmoore Committee; and what is the attitude of his Department?

Mr. Butler

I am taking the most active interest in this question and am frequently in touch with my right hon. Friend the Minister of Agriculture.

Mr. Lindsay

As this Report involves questions which go to the root of local government and the whole education system, will the right hon. Gentleman see that no decision is taken which will prejudice the comprehensive nature of his own Bill?

Mr. Butler

I, personally, am very keen on the subject and very interested in it, and I am in touch with my right hon. Friend about future policy.
