HC Deb 22 June 1937 vol 325 cc1026-7
79. Mr. Kirby

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Board of Education how many schools in Liverpool now make use of radio; and how the present figure compares with that of a year ago?

The Parliamentary Secretary to the Board of Education (Mr. Kenneth Lindsay)

According to the register of schools kept by the Central Council for School Broadcasting, 84 schools in Liverpool now make use of radio. I regret that it is not possible to give a figure for a year ago, but the corresponding figure at the beginning of the present school year was 44.

Mr. Kirby

How does that compare with other towns of comparable size?

Mr. Lindsay

I would like notice of that question.
