HC Deb 03 July 1952 vol 503 c59W
75. Mr. C. I. Orr-Ewing

asked the Minister of Education, in view of the distribution to organised parties of schoolchildren of propaganda leaflets, samples of which have been sent to her, if she will issue a circular to local education authorities calling their attention to the desirability of preventing the dissemination of such leaflets to organised parties of schoolchildren under their care.

Miss Horsbrugh

I strongly disapprove of the distribution of political propaganda to organised parties of schoolchildren; but local education authorities are already well aware of my view that no part of the educational service should be used as a medium for the dissemination of political propaganda of any kind.
