§ 70. Dr. Grayasked the Secretary of State for Defence why separate primary schools are provided for the children of British Army officers and other ranks in the German Federal Republic.
§ Mr. Boyden:They are not.
All educational facilities provided for the children of Service personnel are available to them irrespective of their fathers' rank. In overseas stations, however, schools are provided in proximity to living areas and in a few places these areas are populated predominantly by either officers or other ranks. This means that the pupils in schools in such areas are mainly the children of either officers or soldiers. But there are only six out of some 70 primary schools in Germany in this category.
