§ 93. Mr. Longdenasked the Minister of Education if he is aware of the good results achieved by the code of conduct drawn up by the headmaster of the Ada Road school, Birmingham; and if, in view of the recent increase of 30 per cent. in crime by children under 17, he will set up area committees of teachers to advise all heads of schools on the lines of this code.
§ Mr. TomlinsonIt is one of the schools' most important functions to foster in their pupils a proper sense of social responsibility and I have read this code with much interest, especially in view of the consideration which my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for the Home Department and I are now giving to the means of combating the increase in juvenile crime.
