HC Deb 17 April 1951 vol 486 c145W
1. Mr. McKie

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland why the textbook, "Life in the U.S.S.R.," by Beatrix King, is in use at Kirkcudbright Academy; and whether the Scottish Education Department has sanctioned its use in this school.

Miss Herbison

The book has recently been withdrawn from use in Kirkcudbright Academy. The choice of textbooks is the responsibility of the education authority and is not subject to the sanction of my right hon. Friend.
