HC Deb 10 February 1947 vol 433 c1360
9. Mr. Collins

asked the Minister of Education whether, as a contribution to fuel economy and a convenience to mothers, he will arrange for the midday break in primary and secondary schools to be from 12.30 p.m. to 2 p.m. instead of from 12 noon to 1.30 p.m.

Mr. Tomlinson

The arrangements for the mid-day break are within the discretion of local education authorities, governors or managers, as the case may be. I should see no objection to an arrangement of the kind which my hon. Friend suggests.
