Mr. Doddsasked the Minister of Education what are the results of the inquiries by his Department into the problems arising from the need for parents to provide school uniforms for their children: what progress has been made in securing the most efficient co-operation from manufacturers; and if he will now give education authorities advice in regard to colour range, materials and monopolistic selling points with the object of eliminating the present widespread wasteful procedure and so provide uniforms of a high standard at reasonable prices.
