§ Mr. Markhamasked the President of the Board of Education whether, as a result of the report on public libraries, published in 1927, any improvement has been made in the library facilities of the five municipal boroughs with a population of over 20,000, which, whilst having 590W adopted the Library Acts, had not provided a public library service?
Mr. StanleyOf the five municipal boroughs named in Table XIA of the report of the Departmental Committee on Public Libraries, 1927, four, Chepping Wycombe, Glossop, Gosport and Poole, have taken steps to provide a public library service. So far as I am aware, no such steps have yet been taken by the remaining borough, Weymouth and Melcombe Regis.
