§ 24. Mr. Leatherasked the Minister of Education what response he has had from local education authorities to his official pamphlet, No. 40, entitled, "Schools and the Commonwealth": and what steps local authorities are taking to ensure its circulation throughout schools.
§ Sir D. EcclesThis pamphlet has been widely welcomed, but it is too early to make an assessment of the local education authorities' response.
§ Mr. LeatherI understand my right hon. Friend's difficulty. Would it be possible for him in, say, six or twelve months' time to call for a return from the local authorities to report their action so that we can have some definite idea of what action they have taken?
§ Sir D. EcclesYes, Sir and I shall hope to be able to include the response from overseas as well.
