HC Deb 30 July 1902 vol 112 c132
MR. LEVY

I beg to ask the Vice-President of the Committee of Council on Education if he has any official information showing that consumption is more prevalent among teachers in elementary schools than in other classes of the community; and, if so, will he consider the advisability of the application of remedial measures.

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

The Board of Education have no such information and no reason for supposing that consumption is specially prevalent amongst teachers. The remedy for such disease as exists would be better ventilation of schools.
