HC Deb 05 March 1912 vol 35 cc334-5W
Mr. HOARE

asked the President of the Board of Education, whether he will state the number of boroughs, urban districts, and rural parishes in England and Wales containing no non-provided school, and with only a provided school available for the boys, girls, and infants of the district?

Mr. J. A. PEASE

The number of boroughs with a population of under 10,000, urban districts with a population of under 20,000, and parishes in rural districts containing one school only, and that a provided school, available for boys, girls, and infants, was, on 1st August, 1911, 1,896. There were at the same date 380 such areas containing two or more provided schools, but no voluntary school. One urban district, with a population of over 20,000, and one borough with a population of over 10,000, contained two or more provided schools, but no voluntary schools.
