HC Deb 04 August 1975 vol 897 c29W
Mr. Faulds

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will introduce legislation to require local education authorities to indemnify themselves against claims in respect of accidents to children on school property and during school hours.

Miss Joan Lestor

My right hon. Friend has no reason to believe that authorities are not using their existing powers, as appropriate, to indemnify themselves against such claims for which they may be found liable in law.
