§ Mr. GROVESasked the President of the Board of Education whether he is aware that the London Safety-First Council has decided to hold a Safety-Week mission from 7th to 13th October; and whether, in this connection, he will recommend to local education authorities special instruction in all schools on each day of that week?
Mr. STANLEYThe importance of the instruction and training of school children in the safe use of the roads is already appreciated by local education authorities, and I understand that the London Safety-First Council have taken steps to bring to the notice of authorities the proposed Safety Week to be held in October next. In the circumstances I do not think that any special action on my part is called for, but I am sure that authorities will do their best to co-operate in the admirable work of this Council.
