HC Deb 31 March 1949 vol 463 c1450
62. Mr. Skinnard

asked the Minister of Education what additional permanent hostel, camp or hotel accommodation is being provided this year for the use of organised school journey parties in England and Wales.

Mr. Tomlinson

I regret that I have no information available. Arrangements for school journeys are within the discretion of local education authorities and do not require the approval of my Department.

Mr. Skinnard

Is the Minister making inquiries of the Chancellor of the Exchequer with regard to the use of properties taken over by the National Land Fund in this connection?

Mr. Tomlinson

No.
