§ 51. Lieut.-Colonel WINDSOR-CLIVEasked the President of the Board of Education if he will state, in respect of each county, what proportion of children over 14 years of age can be accommodated on the appointed day in reorganised schools in which there are facilities for giving technical instruction and competent teachers for giving such instruction; and what proportion of such children will have to stay on in small rural schools after they attain the age of 14?
§ Sir C. TREVELYANI must await the authorities' programmes before I can Form an estimate of the extent to which re-organisation will have been completed by 1st April, 1931. But, as I indicated in the Debate on the Motion of the right hon. Member for North Cornwall (Sir D. Maclean) on the 13th November, there are good reasons for believing that in most counties adequate provision will by then have been made.
§ Lieut. - Colonel WINDSOR - CLIVEHas not the right hon. Gentleman received representations from several county councils asking for the postponement of the appointed day on the ground that they cannot provide the necessary accommodation by the appointed day?
§ Sir C. TREVELYANNo, I have not received any yet.
