HC Deb 19 May 1960 vol 623 c124W
50. Mr. Swingler

asked the Minister of Education what steps he has taken to organise in the schools the celebration of Commonwealth Day to mark the significance of the Commonwealth as a multi-racial society founded on racial equality.

Sir D. Eccles

The attention of the schools was drawn to Commonwealth Day in the circular on the Commonwealth which my Department issued a year ago. I am sure that most of them will wish to celebrate Commonwealth Day but the form the celebrations take is best left to them and to local education authorities.
