75. Sir HARRY BRITTAIN

asked the President of the Board of Education whether he can state approximately in what number of the public elementary schools instruction in domestic subjects, including cookery, is given to the older girls?

Lord E. PERCY

The number of public elementary schools in England and Wales in which instruction was given in domestic subjects in the year 1921–22 (the latest year for which I have full figures) was 10,576.
