HC Deb 05 April 1921 vol 140 c609W
Sir W. de FRECE

asked the President of the Board of Education if he is issuing any instructions with regard to the school-feeding of children in the mining districts where work is completely stopped, so as to ensure that at least these children are subjected to the minimum of suffering which any large amount of unemployment must inevitably entail?

Mr. H. FISHER

I do not think that the local education authorities require any instructions from me as to the desirability of making arrangements to meet the needs which are likely to arise. But I will circulate a copy of the hon. Member's question and this answer to them.
