HC Deb 18 December 1952 vol 509 cc238-9W
84. Mr. Tilney

asked the Minister of Education whether, with a view to stimulating interest in the Atlantic community, she will publish a pamphlet outlining an approach to the teaching of the recent history of Canada and the United States of America and including a bibliography of accessible literature suitable for teachers and pupils in our schools.

Miss Horsbrugh

I hope shortly to publish a pamphlet on the teaching of history in schools. This pamphlet will include references to the history of Canada and the United States of America which will, I hope, stimulate the interest of teachers, but I do not regard it as part of my functions to publish a bibliography or to offer detailed suggestions as to the way in which the teaching of this or any other historical subject should be handled.
