HC Deb 01 June 1911 vol 26 c1219
Mr. HUNT

asked whether, in the case of necessitous children who would be fed if there were no Coronation holidays, he can say whether these children will receive food during these holidays?

Mr. HERBERT LEWIS

My right hon. Friend the President of the Board of Education asks me to say that it rests with the local education authority, not with the Board of Education, to determine as to the meals it provides under the Act.

Mr. HUNT

Are we to understand that the children are not going to be fed?

Mr. H. LEWIS

I have nothing to add to the answer.
