§ Mr. RAMSAY MACDONALDasked the President of the Board of Education whether he has received a memorandum from the managers of the Victory Place Schools, Walworth, stating that the schools are so badly lit as to cause injury to the children's eyesight, that the sanitary arrangements are insufficient, that they are inefficiently equipped in case of fire, and showing that these complaints are supported by His Majesty's inspectors; whether the memorandum draws his attention to the delay on the part of the late School Board and the London County Council in remedying these defects; and whether the Education Department proposes to compel the education authority to take immediate action regarding this school?
§ The PRESIDENT of the BOARD of EDUCATION (Mr. Runciman.)I have received a memorandum from the managers of this school, which includes the criticisms to which the hon. Member refers. The condition of the premises has been adversely reported upon by His Majesty's inspector, and the Board have already been in communication with the London County Council on the subject. The managers' memorandum will now be referred to the Council for their observations.
