46. Dr. VERNON DAVIESasked the President of the Board of Education if he has any record of the number of prosecutions of parents for failing to send their children to school during the last three years for which statistics are available; and how many of these cases were due to the objection of the parents to sending a child to an overcrowded school on account of the danger to the health of the child?
§ The PRESIDENT of the BOARD of EDUCATION (Sir Charles Trevelyan)I regret that I have no information as to the number of prosecutions of parents in connection with the enforcement of school attendance.
