HC Deb 10 July 1922 vol 156 c862W
Sir K. FRASER

asked the President of the Board of Education if he is aware that the issue of Circular No 1,962, which cancels all future exemptions from attendance at school of children until the end of the term in which they attain the age of 14 years, is calculated to prove highly detrimental to the efficient training of children in agricultural processes: and will he take steps to suppress the effect of the circular so far as it affects children beneficially employed in agriculture?

Mr. FISHER

I have no evidence of the statement contained in the first part of the question, and am not prepared to introduce the legislation which would be necessary to give effect to the hon. and gallant Member's suggestion.
