§ 51. Colonel Sir C. YATEasked the President of the Board of Education whether out of the 11 inspectors of physical education appointed by the Board of Education eight are women; and, if so, what steps he proposes to take to place men in charge of the physical education of boys?
Mr. LEWISSeven of the 11 inspectors of physical training are women. My right hon. Friend does not see his way to increase the establishment by the appointment of additional men inspectors.
§ Sir C. YATEWhat is the use of women training boys of 12 and 14 years? By appointing women to train boys in physical education is the Department not 313 likely to reduce the whole of this physical training to ridicule?
§ Mr. SPEAKERIt would take half a day to answer that question.
