HC Deb 18 February 1960 vol 617 c153W
Lady Gammans

asked the Minister of Education if he will consider the advisability of introducing compulsory courses in first aid into all secondary school curricula.

Sir D. Eccles

I sympathise with my hon. Friend's desire that boys and girls in secondary schools should learn first aid. Teachers are advised on the importance of first-aid instruction for secondary school children, in particular through my Department's Pamphlet No. 31 "Health Education", a copy of which I am sending the hon. Member.
