HC Deb 30 October 1912 vol 43 cc467-8W
Captain FABER

asked the President of the Board of Education if cinematographs on religious subjects have been used in schools; and, if so, whether he has any intention of stopping them?

Mr. J. A. PEASE

I have no information which would enable me to answer the first part of the question. The hon. and gallant Member will be aware that it is provided by Section 7 of the Elementary Education Act, 1870, that it shall be no part of the duties of His Majesty's Inspectors to inquire into any instruction in religious subjects given in public elementary schools.
