HC Deb 28 December 1893 vol 20 cc341-2
MR. J. GRANT LAWSOX (York, N.R., Thirsk)

I beg to ask the Vice President of the Committee of Council on Education what proportion the number of elementary schools warned after the last inspection bears to the total number of such schools in England and Wales; and what is the similar proportion for the York district?

THE VICE PRESIDENT OF THE COUNCIL (Mr. ACLAND,) York, W.R., Rotherham

The percentage of schools warned for the year ended 30th September last is 1.1 of the total number of departments inspected. The corresponding percentage for the York district is 2.7.

MR. J. GRANT LAWSON

Is there any district in which the proportion is higher in the Northern Circuit?

MR. ACLAND

I cannot say, but I will find out if the hon. Member wishes.
