HC Deb 28 August 1914 vol 66 c280
Mr. ARTHUR HENDERSON

I beg to ask the President of the Board of Education, of which I have given him private-notice: Whether he will circulate as a public document the instructions recently issued to local education authorities regarding the feeding of school children, in. connection with the relief measures to be taken to mitigate the distress arising from the War?

The PRESIDENT of the BOARD of EDUCATION (Mr. J. A. Pease)

I will see what arrangements can be made to give a wider publicity to the circular issued on this subject. Copies of this circular, No. 856, can now be obtained by anyone on application to the Board of Education.

Mr. EDGAR JONES

Would not the best way of making it known be to have it announced in the schools by the teachers during the next few weeks?

Mr. PEASE

That would be a matter for the local education authorities.
