HC Deb 18 December 1912 vol 45 cc1514-5W
Mr. KING

asked the President of the Board of Education whether the Hook St. Paul's Church of England school, Surbiton, Surrey, is on the list to receive a Grant; and, if so, whether it is satisfactory in its buildings, properly maintained, and adequate to their requirements in the neighbourhood?

Mr. J. A. PEASE

Grant is paid in respect of the school in question. The Board have called attention to the facts that the lighting is not altogether satisfactory and that space is needed for the infants' exercises. The teaching staff appears to be adequate, and the recognised accommodation is in excess of the number in average attendance.

Mr. KING

asked the President of the Board of Education whether the Surrey local education authority is providing sufficient school accommodation in the district of Surbiton; and, if not, whether means will be taken to supply the demand without delay?

Mr. PEASE

There is no deficiency of school accommodation in Surbiton, but the local education authority have made proposals to build anew school for 100 infants which would relieve the particular school referred to in the hon. Member's previous question, and the Board are in communication with the authority upon the subject.
