§ Sir W. Smithersasked the Minister of Education if his attention has been called to the evidence given by 237 head teachers of London schools to Sir Graham Savage, education officer of the London County Council on 18th September, 1950, at County Hall, concerning Communist propaganda in State schools; to what extent this is typical of the country as a whole: 276W and what action he is taking to eradicate Communist propaganda in the schools under his administration.
§ Mr. TomlinsonThe London County Council has sent me a copy of the report of the meeting. This indicates that there is no cause for anxiety over activities in and about London County Council schools. I have no evidence that Communist propaganda is being disseminated in schools under my jurisdiction in other parts of the country. If any such case were brought to my notice I should at once take action.
