Local Education Authorities were advised by the Board of Education to avoid contentious issues by the adoption of the "Anson proviso" or "Anson byelaw" which provided for the withdrawal of children, in deference to parents' wishes, not only from religious instruction but from the school premises when alternative provision for their religious instruction was made.
Local Education Authorities were required under s 27 of the Education Act 1921 and the duty imposed under sub-section 2 to report to the Board of Education to report any infraction, and any complaint received of infraction, of those provisions.
Not all Local Education Authorities had occasion to report to the Board of Education or seek concurrence to local arrangements.
