HC Deb 13 May 1919 vol 115 cc1465-6W
Lord H. CAVENDISH-BENTINCK

asked the Secretary of State for War whether he will give instructions that the elementary schools in Nottingham at present occupied by the military authorities shall be vacated at the earliest possible moment, in order that there may be time to refit them for teaching work after midsummer?

Mr. CHURCHILL

I am informed that four of the schools have already been vacated and that another is being vacated. Arrangements are being made which will enable two further schools to be given up at an early date. There will then remain the Carlton Road School, which is occupied by the Labour Corps Pay Office, and I regret that it is not possible at present to relinquish these premises.

Lord H. CAVENDISH-BENTINCK

asked the Secretary of State for War whether he will give instructions for the evacuation by the military authorities of St. Peter's Schools, Nottingham, the continued occupation of which is causing suffering to the work of the parish?

Mr. CHURCHILL

I am informed that it is hoped to surrender these premises by the middle of July next.
