§ 62. Sir P. Hannonasked the Minister of Education if he has considered the cultural advantages to be gained from local museums and galleries in provincial centres; and if he will invite the education committees to include visits to such institutions in their programmes as essential to a wider knowledge of local social history.
§ Mr. TomlinsonI am glad to say that the practice of arranging such visits is already widespread and is growing. Guidance on the best means of utilising the resources of local museums and collections is included in many of the short courses arranged by my Department for serving teachers.
