§ 13. Mr. Dodds-Parkerasked the Minister of Education why a party of boys from the Chipping Norton County School were taken to a Labour Party meeting on Wednesday, 1st February, during school hours.
§ Mr. TomlinsonI understand that on this date school games had to be cancelled 542 owing to bad weather and that 11 senior pupils asked for and were given permission to go, instead, to hear an address by the Minister of Education.
§ Mr. Dodds-ParkerWas the Minister's talk solely confined to soccer, which the boys were unable to play elsewhere?
§ Mr. TomlinsonNo, Sir. I understand, from the letter I received from the headmaster, that it was not particularly that they wanted to hear the Minister of Education but rather that they wanted to see him.
