§ Mr. O'GRADYasked the President of the Board of Education whether, in view of the fact that the recently imposed annual clothing fee of £5 by the Governors of the Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Bristol, excludes the children of poor parents from entering, he is prepared to suggest to the Governors the advisability of retaining a proportion of free places for clever children of poor parents?
§ The PRESIDENT of the BOARD of EDUCATION (Mr. Runciman)I will ask the Governors for their observations on the hon. Member's suggestion, and will communicate the result to him.
