HC Deb 12 March 1942 vol 378 c1218W
Sir P. Hannon

asked the President of the Board of Education whether he will make a recommendation to education committees to adopt as a reader in elementary and secondary schools the work entitled "The Wings of Victory"?

Mr. Butler

It is the Board's general policy to leave the choice of books, together with details of the curriculum, to the discretion of the local education authority or other authority responsible for the schools. I should be reluctant to vary this procedure.
