HC Deb 26 July 1934 vol 292 c1918
10. Captain CUNNINGHAM - REID

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Board of Education whether he is aware that cases of injury from wood splinters to scholars at the London County Council elementary school, Barrow Hill Road, St. John's Wood, still continue; and whether he will now implement his promise to remedy this state of affairs, made when one of these cases led to the death of a child in November, 1932, and thus allay the concern of parents in that neighbourhood?

Mr. RAMSBOTHAM

My Noble Friend is informed that some further complaints have been received by the London County Council of minor injuries to children at the Barrow Hill Road School. The council have already replaced or repaired the furniture where necessary, and they are at the present time considering the most satisfactory means of avoiding any risk from splinters on the floors of the assembly halls.
