HC Deb 25 April 1923 vol 163 cc497-8W
Mr. POTTS

asked the President of the Board of Education whether he will arrange for elementary school children attending school at the hours operating up to Friday, 20th April, 1923, wherever the local education authority can carry out such order, seeing that such continuation as hitherto is essential upon the grounds of health and sleep to young children?

Lord E. PERCY

I am afraid the hon. Member's suggestion is impracticable, and I do not agree that it is essential on the grounds suggested.
