HC Deb 28 February 1952 vol 496 c177W
78. Mr. Storey

asked the Minister of Education whether, in view of the refusal of the governors of certain modern secondary schools in Lancashire to grant leave to Air Training Corps cadets to attend their annual camp last summer, she will advise the governors of all such schools that leave should be granted in future.

Miss Horsbrugh

No. This must remain a matter for the discretion of the school authorities. I hope that arrangements will be made to enable schoolboys to go to camp during the holidays, as is customary in Lancashire and other counties.
