HC Deb 26 April 1917 vol 92 cc2606-7W
Mr. ROWLANDS

asked the President of the Board of Education whether the improved conditions to be introduced into the elementary schools will be extended to the teachers and scholars in the Poor Law schools; and, if not, will he consider the advisability of applying them?

Mr. HAYES FISHER

I have been asked by my right hon. Friend to answer this question. The Local Government Board will endeavour, so far as practicable, to introduce into Poor Law schools the improved conditions which my right hon. Friend proposes to establish in the public elementary schools.
