HC Deb 05 December 1946 vol 431 c494
43. Mr. E. Fletcher

asked the Minister of Education whether she is satisfied with the response to her circular urging the schools to make a special study of U.N.E.S.C.O. and its problems during the holding of the U.N.E.S.CO. Conference in Paris.

The Minister of Education (Miss Ellen Wilkinson)

Yes, Sir. Such inquiries as I have been able to make show that there has been an encouraging interest on the part of local education authorities and teachers.

Sir W. Smithers

in view of the views expressed by Mr. Léon Blum on marriage, does the right hon. Lady think he is a fit and proper person to be President of U.N.E.S.C.O?

Miss Wilkinson

I can assure the hon. Member that the U.N.E.S.CO. membership is exceedingly proud to have Mr. Léon Blum.

Sir W. Smithers

Is he one of the right hon. Lady's boy friends?
