HC Deb 19 December 1929 vol 233 c1611
42. Mr. R. RICHARDSON

asked the President of the Board of Education whether His Majesty's inspectors have been instructed to report in detail upon any defect in structure, lighting, heating, water supply, or sanitary arrangements of all schools which they visit; and, if not, whether it is his intention to issue such an instruction?

Sir C. TREVELYAN

Yes, Sir; this is one of the functions of the Board's inspectors.

Mr. RICHARDSON

Is the right hon. Gentleman aware that during the economy campaign, they were instructed not to report on these matters; and has he cancelled such instructions?
