HC Deb 07 March 1956 vol 549 cc200-1W
Mr. D. Jones

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies in which of the territories comprising the Windward Islands, compulsory education is enforced; and from which islands it has been withdrawn and what is the reason for such withdrawal.

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

Provision is made by law for compulsory attendance in Grenada and St. Lucia and in parts of Dominica. I am asking the Governor for details as regards enforcement and will write to the hon. Member when I have his reply.
