HC Deb 13 July 1932 vol 268 cc1283-4
41. Mr. PEARSON

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Board of Education whether, in view of the need for providing boots for school children in necessitous areas, he will consider the desirability of amending Section 84 of the Education Act of 1921 so as to include the provision of boots for school children under the same conditions as those contained in Section 83 of the Act relating to food?

Mr. RAMSBOTHAM

It is not at present proposed to introduce legislation such as my hon. Friend suggests.
