HC Deb 22 May 1952 vol 501 c73W
77. Mr. E. Wakefield

asked the Minister of Education if she will circularise local education authorities in agricultural areas, requesting them, when fixing the dates of school holidays, to bear in mind the invaluable help which children can give to farmers in getting in the potato crop.

Miss Horsbrugh

I have already done so. I am sending my hon. Friend a copy of a letter which was sent on 5th February last to the local education authorities concerned.
