HC Deb 16 April 1959 vol 603 c1136
42. Captain Pilkington

asked the Minister of Education what arrangements he has made for road safety precautions to be taught in schools.

Mr. Geoffrey Lloyd

Instruction in road safety is now a normal part of the school curriculum. My Department already assists this work in many ways, and I am now arranging for a special chapter on road safety to be included in the new edition of the pamphlet "Safety Precautions in Schools".

Captain Pilkington

Although I believe that there have been improvements, is my right hon. Friend aware that there is still wide room for even more improvements? Is he certain that this instruction is being given thoroughly and efficiently?

Mr. Lloyd

Her Majesty's inspectors keep a careful eye on this work.
