§ MR. WEIRI beg to ask the Vice-President of the Committee of Council on Education, having regard to the fact that a large percentage of the young men who enlist in Her Majesty's Army are subsequently rejected on account of bad teeth, will he consider the expediency of arranging for a fully qualified dentist to attend periodically at each school under the control of the Council for the purpose of inspecting the teeth of all lads over the age of ten, so that they may be encouraged to take such steps as are necessary for the preservation of their teeth.
§ SIR J. GORSTThe Committee of Council regard this as a matter for the consideration of local authorities and managers of schools: but the suggestion of the hon. Member shall be considered.
