HC Deb 23 March 1944 vol 398 c1020
17. Lieutenant-Colonel Marlowe

asked the President of the Board of Education whether he has considered the resolutions of the recent meeting of the Association of Education Committees; whether he is aware that when the Brighton resolution, which was supported by five other committees and not opposed, was being voted upon, a tactical device was employed by the Executive so as to prevent a vote being taken; and if he will take notice of this resolution as if it had been carried as it would have been if voting had been permitted.

The President of the Board of Education (Mr. Butler)

I will take note of the hon. and gallant Member's request, but I cannot comment on the procedure to which he draws my attention.
