HC Deb 22 August 1940 vol 364 c1485W
Captain Anstruther-Gray

asked the President of the Board of Education the number of persons registered as conscientious objectors at present employed as teachers; and whether parents are compelled to have their children taught by them?

Mr. Ramsbotham

I have no information on the first part of the Question. The great majority of children in the country have no effective choice of schools or consequently of the teachers by whom they are taught.
