HC Deb 17 November 1938 vol 341 c1054
65. Mr. Ede

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Board of Education whether the remarks in Circular 1464 on the extension of secondary education apply to the provision of gymnasia for those secondary schools which have no gymnasium facilities at the moment?

Mr. Lindsay

The policy of the Board is to encourage physical education and my Noble Friend would certainly be prepared to consider sympathetically every such case on its merits.
