HC Deb 18 March 1965 vol 708 cc296-7W
34. Mr. Shepherd

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what is the practice of local education authorities in advising their staff with regard to supplying information about pupils to concerns which wish to use such information for the purpose of sales of encyclopaedias and other products.

Mr. Prentice

This is a matter for local education authorities. I do not know what advice they give to their teachers, but I am sure they would not wish information about pupils to be given to business concerns for such purposes.
