§ 58. Mr. R. MORRISONasked the President of the Board of Education how many local education authorities have made provision for the education of deaf and partially deaf children under their jurisdiction; how many have made partial provision; and how many have not, yet made any provision?
§ Lord E. PERCYIt is not possible to give exact figures. The provision made in certified special schools for totally deaf children, between the ages of 7 and 16, is, generally speaking, complete. In the case of partially deaf children the provision is not generally complete. Two authorities have provided special schools for their partially deaf children, and some 20 or 30 authorities either admit all their partially deaf children to their own schools for the deaf or send them to other deaf schools or institutions. In a number of the smaller areas no such children have been ascertained.
