13. Mr. Parker

asked the Minister of Education what action he has in mind to secure the staggering of school summer holidays as a necessary precaution for levelling out the August holiday peak.

Mr. Tomlinson

Local education authorities and school governors were asked on 6th January to collaborate with the regional controllers of the Ministry of Labour and National Service with a view, wherever possible, to fitting school holidays in with the local holiday periods.
