HC Deb 27 July 1967 vol 751 c185W
33. Mr. Luard

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science whether he will instruct education authorities to replace the term, educationally sub-normal school, by the term, special school, or some other suitable alternative.

Mrs. Shirley Williams

The naming of schools is a matter for local authorities and there is no requirement or encouragement for the term "educationally subnormal" to form part of the name of any school.
