RICHARDSON)asked the President of the Board of Education whether His Majesty's inspectors have reported that sundry elementary schools in receipt of grant are insufficiently heated in cold weather; and whether, in view of the suffering caused to school children by the lack of heat- 1838 ing provision in severe weather, inadequacy of heating arrangements is regarded as a ground for placing the schools concerned on the black list or for requiring prompt remedy of the defect?
§ Lord E. PERCYInspectors habitually report cases where the heating arrangements are inadequate to meet ordinary variations of temperature, and this was one of the factors taken into account in placing schools on the black list where necessary a prompt remedy of the defect is pressed for.
