Exchanges of Pupils

HC Deb 23 March 1950 vol 472 cc131-2W

96. Mr. Janner

asked the Minister of Education whether he is aware that a school in France and one in England are exchanging pupils from the same form for a whole term; and whether he will consider extending such a practice to schools under his jurisdiction.

Mr. Tomlinson

Exchanges of pupils in term-time have been arranged between a number of schools in this country and schools in France. While the initiative must rest with individual schools suitable exchanges have my full support and my Department will continue to assist wherever possible.
