HC Deb 23 July 1959 vol 609 c142W
Mr. G. M. Thomson

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies to what extent the staffs of Government schools in Gambia, Sierra Leone, and Nigeria are consulted about the text-books and other educational aids to be used in their schools.

Mr. J. Amery

Generally speaking in each of the territories, the text-books and other educational aids are selected by the head teachers and their staffs, but Government advice is always available if required.
