HC Deb 20 April 1915 vol 71 c190
103. Mr. KING

asked the President of the Board of Education whether periodical lists will be published, if possible month by month, of the number of children prematurely liberated from school to follow domestic, industrial, or agricultural employments?

The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the BOARD of EDUCATION (Dr. Addison)

My right hon. Friend is considering what further Returns can be issued supplementary to Cd. 7881. Owing to the depletion of the Board's staff and of the officers of local authorities he is naturally anxious to restrict additional labour on statistical returns as far as possible.
