§ VISCOUNT CRANBORNE (Rochester)I beg to ask the Vice President of the Committee of Council on Education whether the Education Department are requiring additional cloak-room and increased desk accommodation at Uzmaston School, in the County of Pembrokeshire, notwithstanding the facts that a short time ago increased desk accommodation was provided under the direction of Her Majesty's Inspector and approved by him, and that a lobby, 15 feet by 8 feet, with a sufficient number of pegs is available as a cloak-room?
§ THE VICE PRESIDENT on THE COUNCIL (Mr. ACLAND,) York, W.R., RotherhamIt appears that by the mistake of a clerk, a letter from the managers on this matter, dated the 12th of March last, was put away before it had been answered. This letter had been referred a few days after it was received to Her Majesty's Inspector, who at once approved the use of the lobby mentioned as a cloak-room, and the provision of additional desks so far as made. The letter will now be answered at once. I regret the delay, which was entirely owing to one of those mistakes which will occasionally occur in an office through which so many thousands of letters pass.
