§ 13. Mr. KINGasked the President of the Board of Education whether, in view of the London education authority having reduced its vote for school cleaning by£66,000, he will say whether the Board's inspectors have been, or will be, instructed to permit school premises to remain in a less cleanly condition than before the War?
§ The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the BOARD of EDUCATION (Mr. Herbert Lewis)The answer is in the negative. I cannot anticipate the possible results of such a measure of economy, for the adoption of which the local education authority do not require the permission of the Board or of their inspectors.
§ Sir J. D. REESWhat is the total amount of the provision which admits of a reduction of£60,000; will any such figure be continued at any time?
