HC Deb 25 March 1919 vol 114 cc216-7
61. Colonel YATE

asked the President of the Board of Education whether, considering that of the seven expert inspectors of physical training on the staff of the Board of Education in November last five were women and only two were men and both of those men were then away on service, he will now consider the question of appointing at least one man inspector for boys and one woman inspector for girls to each inspectorial division?

The PRESIDENT of the BOARD of EDUCATION (Mr. Herbert Fisher)

The question of the desirability of strengthening the Board's staff of inspectors of physical training is at present under my consideration.

Colonel YATE

How long will it remain under consideration?
