§ Mr. Tomlinsonasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Board of Education whether lie is prepared to grant facilities to local education authorities to provide clothing and footwear for necessitous schoolchildren in order to overcome the difficulties arising from the facts of evacuation?
Mr. LindsayI would refer the hon. Member to the answer which I gave him to a similar question on 4th May last. As stated in a reply given by my right hon. Friend the Minister of Health on Thursday last, a circular will shortly be issued by his Department to local authorities.
