Miss Rathbone:

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Board of Education, whether he is aware that the problem of the leisure of the adolescent is becoming acute in London and other evacuated areas, owing to temporary unemployment, dark evenings, and absence of parents from the home, and that no gathering of persons is allowed in these areas except in licensed premises; and whether he will consider recommencing educational and recreational classes under the local authorities in various available buildings, with due regard to the proximity of suitable air-raid shelters.
