HC Deb 09 February 1939 vol 343 c1151W
Mr. R. Morgan

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Board of Education whether his attention has been called to the possibilities of using existing television services in connection with educational work in the schools; and whether, in any case, he will make some inquiries as to the cost and utility of this service?

Mr. Lindsay

Yes, Sir. I understand that the Central Council for School Broadcasting are watching developments in television with a view to its educational possibilities.

Mr. Wakefield

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Board of Education whether he will state the result of his further representations to the British Broadcasting Corporation of the need for early morning physical fitness broadcasts?

Mr. Lindsay

I regret that the further inquiries which I undertook to make do not yet enable me to modify the information which I gave to my hon. Friend on the 1st December last that it had not been found possible to arrange for such broadcasts.
