HC Deb 25 May 1950 vol 475 c2211
10. Sir W. Smithers

asked the Minister of Education what religious or Biblical study is given or required of students in teachers' training colleges.

Mr. Tomlinson

I have laid down no requirements, but courses in religious or Biblical study are available in all training colleges, and these subjects may be offered as part of the final examination.

Sir W. Smithers

What steps is the Minister taking to ensure that students and teachers do not use their positions for the purpose of Communist propaganda? May I have an answer?
