HC Deb 07 August 1947 vol 441 c176W
36. Mr. King

asked the Minister of Education if he will take steps to ensure greater representation of parents in the management of primary schools.

Mr. Tomlinson

The constitution of the managerial body is governed by the instrument of management which is made by the local education authority for county schools and by me for voluntary schools. Co-operation between schools and the general body of parents can, however, be more effectively secured in other ways, for example, through associations of parents and teachers.
