HC Deb 16 June 1982 vol 25 c274W
Mr. Jim Callaghan

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he is satisfied that children of gipsies moving about the United Kingdom are receiving satisfactory formal education.

Dr. Boyson

The movement of gipsies and other travellers presents major difficulties in the education of their children. Often there will be practical problems which cannot easily be overcome, and the education of the children suffers as a result.
