§ 40. Mr. DAYasked the President of the Board of Education what steps his Department has taken during the last three years to see that hot water for washing, especially in winter months, has been laid on in all elementary and particularly infants' schools?
§ Sir C. TREVELYANI cannot give my hon. Friend precise figures, but I can assure him that the Board fully recognise the desirability of a supply of hot water, especially in infants' schools, and it is their practice to suggest that a supply should be provided in all cases where this appears reasonably practicable.
§ Mr. DAYIs my right hon. Friend aware that in many of these schools there is hot water for heating purposes, but none for washing, and will he suggest that schemes be adopted for linking up the two systems?
§ Mr. BEAUMONTIs the right hon. Gentleman aware that there are still many schools which have not even a proper supply of cold water?
