§ 76 and 77. Mr. EDEasked the President of the Board of Education (1) how many private schools there are which have declared their willingness to be inspected, under Section 147 of the Education Act, 1921, by the local education authority;
(2) how many schools there are to which Section 147 of the Education Act, 1921, applies; and the total number of children educated in them?
§ Sir C. TREVELYANMy information is confined to those schools which have declared themselves open to the Board's inspection. I am not, therefore, in a position to furnish any information as to the number of schools which have declared themselves open to inspection by local authorities, or as to the number of schools which have not declared themselves open to inspection in one way or the other, or as to the number of pupils in such schools.
