§ 31. Mr. HURDasked the President of the Board of Education what steps he has taken to bring the Board's pamphlet on 1601 rural education to the notice of persons interested in the question?
§ Lord E. PERCYIn addition to being circulated to Government Departments and the Press, the pamphlet was issued to the Royal Horticultural Society, the Royal Agricultural Society, the National Farmers' Union, the Central Landowners' Association, the Land Union, the Central Chamber of Agriculture, the National Union of Agricultural Workers, and the Workers' Union, to all local education authorities in England and Wales and the Isle of Man, and to the various associations of local authorities and associations of teachers.
