§ 39. Sir R. Russellasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what was the outcome of his discussions with the local authority associations on the undesirability of outside persons visiting primary schools to question children about their family backgrounds; and which were the two boroughs in which research workers have been authorised to do this.
§ Mr. RedheadMy right hon. Friend was assured that authorities generally agreed that it was not desirable that questions of this type should be asked. The boroughs concerned were Brent and Barnet.
