HC Deb 03 March 1964 vol 690 c203W
Dr. D. Johnson

asked the Minister of Education if he is aware that teachers in provincial centres such as Carlisle and other places in the North are being refused assistance on economic grounds with their travelling expenses to attend educational courses organised by national bodies; and whether he will make a grant for such purposes, in view of the fact that such bodies as the Froebel National Foundation hold their courses only in London.

Sir E. Boyle

I think it preferable to abide by the established arrangement whereby help with travelling expenses for teachers attending courses is the employers' responsibility.
