§ Mr. van StraubenzeeLocal education authorities are not required to inform the Department of their arrangements and instructions for first aid in schools. Advice on the subject is given in the Department's pamphlet "Safety at School", from which I am sending the hon. Member an extract.
Training in first aid is provided by voluntary bodies to which the pamphlet refers local education authorities for further help.
