HC Deb 28 November 1945 vol 416 c1492W
Colonel Dodds-Parker

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he will make arrangements for sending qualified lecturers on colonial subjects to schools; and whether any financial assistance is given to the Imperial Institute towards the cost of supplying lecturers on colonial affairs to schools and institutions.

Mr. George Hall

Lectures to schools on Colonial questions have been arranged from time to time by the Imperial Institute and the Ministry of Information and I hope that the arrangements by the former will be continued and expanded. With regard to the second part of the question the United Kingdom and Colonial Governments provide the greater part of the finances of the Imperial Institute but have not asked that any part of the funds thus made available should be allocated to this or any other particular purpose.
