HC Deb 30 June 1947 vol 439 cc932-3
63. Mr. Edward Evans

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, how many adults and how many children of school age are housed at present in the Munster Strasse Bunher, Dusseldorf.

Mr. Mayhew

One hundred and ninety adults and 90 children under 14 years of age are housed in this bunker.

Mr. Evans

Can the Minister say at what rate these people are being rehoused, and for how long are they likely to remain without proper dwellings?

Mr. Mayhew

I should require notice of that question.

64. Mr. E. Evans

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs how many children attend the school situated in the Munster Strasse Bunher, Dusseldorf, each day; how many teachers are employed; and when the repairs to the school they would normally attend will be completed.

Mr. Mayhew

Eight hundred and forty-two children attend this school; of these 164 receive the equivalent of full-time instruction, and 678 part-time. Sixteen teachers are employed. The German authorities are responsible for the allocation of the very limited materials available for the repair of buildings. They hope that repairs to the normal school building will be completed by November.

Mr. Evans

Would the Minister say how many school sessions and how many groups of children are involved?

Mr. Mayhew

I could not say without notice.
