§ 31. Mr. MORLEYasked the President of the Board of Education to what extent reorganisation into junior and senior schools has now taken place throughout the country?
§ Mr. LEES-SMITHIt is very difficult to describe in statistical form, or within the limits of a Parliamentary answer, the extent to which reorganisation in elementary schools has now been carried out. But I would refer my hon. Friend to the account of this matter given on pages 7–9 of the Board's Report for 1930, which indicates that on 31st March, 1930, about one-fifth of the children over 11 were in reorganised schools or departments: the proportion is now probably between one-quarter and a third.
§ Mr. MORLEYHas this reorganisation led to diminution of the staff to any appreciable extent?
