Mr. A. T. DAVIESasked the President of the Board of Education whether he is aware that, with a view to meeting the requirements of the recent Education Act in the matter of continuation schools, it is proposed by the Wimbledon and other education committees to use huts recently in occupation of service men; and whether this suggestion has the approval of the Ministry?
§ Mr. FISHERI am advised that satisfactory temporary accommodation for Continuation Schools can be constructed out of suitable Army huts. In view of the great difficulty of building permanent schools at the present time, I see no reason to take exception to the use of such temporary buildings, and, indeed, I am disposed to encourage their use in the interests both of educational development and economy.
