§ 88. Mr. KINGasked the President of the Board of Education whether he is aware that children are being refused admission at Sidney Road, Daubeney Road, Mandeville Street, Hackney Parochial, Orchard Street, Lauriston Road, and South Hackney Parochial Schools, all in the Hackney district; that the official report made to the London Education Committee states that there is no accommodation for infants in the large district covered by these schools; and whether he will now call on the London education authority to provide a sufficiency of school places in Hackney?
§ The PRESIDENT of the BOARD of EDUCATION (Mr. J. A. Pease)At the schools named children were refused admission shortly before the half-yearly promotions were made. Since then, I am informed there has been no difficulty either for older children or for infants. Arrangements have already been made by the London County Council to provide additional accommodation in the district referred to.
