HC Deb 18 July 1940 vol 363 cc412-3W
Sir F. Fremantle

asked the President of the Board of Education whether he will issue instructions for children in all schools to be educated for their own safety and the convenience of the public in the rule of the pavement as contained in the Highway Code?

Mr. Ramsbotham

Instruction in road safety, including lessons on the Highway Code, is given in a large number of schools. The nature of such instruction is determined by local education authorities and teachers in the light of local circumstances and the age and capacity of the children.
