§ 21. Mr. Edward Daviesasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what measures are being taken to deal with the severe overcrowding of schools in British Guiana.
§ Mr. LytteltonThis problem has recently been examined by a local committee. Their recommendations will be considered by the Government to be elected next year under the new Constitution.
§ Mr. DaviesIs it not a fact that, according to an official report published recently, some of the classes contain more than 100 scholars? Does not the right hon. Gentleman agree that it is very urgent that something should be done to improve the conditions?
§ Mr. LytteltonI agree with the hon. Member. The Colonial Development and Welfare Fund has provided a large sum of money to assist the project.
