§ 77. Mr. Hannanasked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will state the arrangements his Department has made with education authorities for educational cruises for children; what education authorities are involved; what is the estimated number of children to be invited; and whether consideration will be given to children likely to benefit in health as well as education.
§ Mr. MaclayFollowing consultations with representatives of education authorities and teachers and a shipping company, it was agreed that the company would circulate proposals for such cruises to all education authorities. It is not yet known how many authorities will participate, or how many children they will send, but I have no doubt that consideration will be given to the children to whom the hon. Member refers.
