HC Deb 16 April 1919 vol 114 cc2922-3W
Brigadier-General COLVIN

asked the Minister of National Service and Recon- struction if the services of demobilised soldiers of the Army gymnastic staff can be utilised for the physical training of boys and girls at national schools?

Mr. FISHER

My right hon. Friend the Minister of National Service and Reconstruction has asked me to reply to this question. The physical training of elementary school children is organised by the local education authorities, and application should be made to them by members of the Army gymnastic staff who are competent to train children, if they desire such employment.
