§ Lieut.-Colonel Bromley-Davenportasked the Minister of Education how many county councils let school halls to such bodies as amateur dramatic societies; to what extent such lettings result in a profit having regard to the additional expenses of cleaning, etc., involved; and if he will suggest to other county councils that they should give careful and sympathetic consideration to adopting a similar policy, in cases where a profit will result.
§ Sir D. EcclesI keep no record of the number or terms of such lettings, which are settled by the local education or other school authority in the light of local needs and circumstances.
