HC Deb 24 July 1930 vol 241 cc2419-20W
Mr. NAYLOR

asked the President of the Board of Education what are the arrangements made in London for the instruction of school children on traffic dangers; how frequently the lessons are given; and the nature of the instruction?

Sir C. TREVELYAN

Head teachers in London schools have instructions to advise Children from time to time in regard to traffic dangers and the ways of avoiding them. The matter is referred to daily in the infants' departments and, as opportunity offers, with the older children. In addition posters are displayed in the schools, instructions are printed on the covers of the exercise books used by the children, and facilities are given to the Safety First Council to organise an essay competition in the schools.
