HC Deb 14 February 1929 vol 225 c531
24. Mr. HARRIS

asked the President of the Board of Education how many elementary schools in England have been divided into senior and junior schools under the Board's scheme of reorganisation on this basis; and whether the reorganisation is likely to reduce the number of head teachers required?

Lord E. PERCY

If the hon. Member will confer with me, I will try to give him any statistics in the possession of my Department which will throw any light on the points in which he is interested. When an elementary school is divided into two schools the number of head teachers is doubled, but clearly this is not the information which the hon. Member requires.
