HC Deb 07 April 1971 vol 815 c127W
53. Mr. Clark Hutchison

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will issue a circular to local authorities urging them to give directions to all headmasters and headmistresses and staff of schools to seize and burn any copies found in their schools of the publication, The Little Red School Book, published by Stage One.

Mr. Edward Taylor

No. I am sure I can rely on the good sense of local authorities and teachers, with whom the responsibility rests, to exercise the appropriate discretion as to copies of books which may be found in the schools.
