HC Deb 09 March 1978 vol 945 c772W
Mr. Canavan

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether he will investigate reports about National Front activity in Scottish schools and take appropriate action to stop such activities.

Mr. McElhone

I deplore any attempt by the National Front to distribute literature in schools, but my inquiries have shown that recent Press reports were somewhat exaggerated. I have no doubt that education authorities and teaching staff will ensure that schools are not used to further the aims of any political party.
