§ Sir W. de FRECEasked the President of the Board of Education whether, in view of the poor demand for fish, even at the cheapest possible rates, which has again entailed, in the one town of Fleet-wood, the use of this article of food for refuse or factory purposes, he can say if any instruction and, if so, what is given in the schools of the country as to the dietetic value of fish?
§ Lord E. PERCYI understand that the lessons in fish cookery, which, generally speaking, form part of every cookery syllabus, include simple instruction in the dietetic value of fish. I may perhaps add that, such instruction is impeded in some districts owing to the difficulty in obtaining fish and its high cost.
