Mr. T. THOMSONasked the President of the Board of Education how many elementary school buildings, which were condemned by His Majesty's inspectors before August, 1914, are still in use; the number of children attending them; and how long does he propose to continue to allow them to be used?
§ Mr. TREVELYANIt would require much time and labour to trace in the records of the Board the present condition of all school premises to which, 10 years ago, the Board had taken serious exception. I have instituted a systematic inquiry into the number of schools, the premises of which should cease to be recognised so soon as other accommodation can be provided.
