§ Mr. Barry JonesTo ask the Secretary of State for Wales (1) if he will meet St. John Ambulance and the Red Cross in Wales to discuss the place of first aid instruction in schools in Wales; and if he will make a statement;
(2) which local education authorities in Wales have arranged for first aid instruction in their schools; what type of instruction is provided; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Peter WalkerAny discussions about the place of first aid instruction in schools should most appropriately be conducted between the first aid organisations and local education authorities.
All local education authorities make provision for first aid instruction. I shall write to the hon. Gentleman with detailed information on the extent of provision and type of instruction in schools and place a copy of my letter in the Library of the House.
