Mr. Haydn Davies

asked the Minister of Education how many local education authorities have exercised the powers granted under Circular 97 to appoint paid assistants for the purpose of supervising school meals; and what is the number of such assistants appointed to date.

Mr. Tomlinson

I would refer my hon. Friend to the answer which the late Minister of Education gave to my hon. Friend the Member for Southampton (Mr. Morley) on 31st October, 1946, a copy of which I am sending him. No later figures are available.
