asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Board of Education the number of new junior technical and junior commercial schools, respectively, that were sanctioned during each of the last four years, giving separate figures for Lancashire?

Mr. RAMSBOTHAM

As the answer involves a tabular statement of figures, I will, with the hon. Member's permission, circulate it in the OFFICIAL REPORT.

Following is the answer:

The number of new junior technical schools and new junior commercial schools recognised by the Board in England and Wales during the last four years is as follows:

Year New Junior Technical Schools. New Junior Commercial Schools.

1932–33 7 4
1933–34 4 —
1934–35 6 1

No new junior technical schools or junior commercial schools were recognised by the Board in Lancashire during these years.
