HC Deb 22 March 1897 vol 47 cc1110-1
COLONEL DALBIAC (Camberwell, N.)

I beg to ask the Vice President of the Committee of Council on Education whether it is obligatory upon School Boards in crowded urban districts to build around each school playground a wall of sufficient height to prevent the habitual personal annoyance of residents near the school, and the constant danger to passers-by from missiles?

THE VICE PRESIDENT OF THE COUNCIL (Sir JOHN GORST,) Cambridge University

No, Sir; there is no such obligation, and I fear that a wall of sufficient height to prevent boys throwing stones over it would be in itself a nuisance.
