HC Deb 05 March 1931 vol 249 c578
37. Dr. HASTINGS

asked the President of the Board of Education if he can give the approximate number of schools in which lessons founded on the Boards official syllabus, the hygiene of food and drink, are regularly given?

Mr. LEES-SMITH

I have no information as to the particular schools in which lessons are given on the basis of the Board's syllabus of hygiene of food and drink, but the extensive circulation of the syllabus shows that it is, in fact, used in a very large number of schools.
