HC Deb 18 April 1962 vol 658 c67W
45. Dr. Stross

asked the Minister of Labour what co-operation now exists with the Minister of Education in order that the principles of safety and accident prevention should be taught in schools and technical colleges; and to what extent this is now carried out.

Mr. Green

My right hon. Friend keeps closely in touch with his right hon. Friend the Minister of Education who is constantly emphasising to local education authorities and principals of technical colleges the importance of inculcating safety principles in schools and colleges. H.M. Inspectors of Schools advise the heads of schools and colleges who are encouraged to develop a close liaison with H.M. Inspectors of Factories. Their advice and assistance on matters of safety are increasingly being sought.
