HC Deb 03 November 1930 vol 244 cc493-4W
Sir J. LAMB

asked the President of the Board of Education for each of the years 1910, 1915, 1920, 1925, and 1930, the number of children in attendance at rural schools in England and Wales?

Sir C. TREVELYAN

Before 1919 the Board's statistics were not tabulated so as to show separately the number of pupils in attendance at public elementary schools in rural districts. The numbers in average attendance in subsequent years were as follow:

1919–20 1,045,284
1924–25 998,743
1928–29 974,470
(Figures are not yet available for 1929–30.)
