§ Mr. WESTWOODIt will take some time to obtain the detailed information asked for in the first and second parts of the question, but I will supply it to the hon. Member on the completion of certain inquiries which are being made. The sanitary equipment of the schools is reported on by the inspectors of the Department on the occasion of their periodic visits, and matters calling for improvement are thereafter taken up with the education authorities concerned.
