Lieut.-Colonel A. MURRAYasked the President of the Board of Education whether reports have been called for from local education authorities as to the effect of the summer-time period in recent years on the health of school children; and, if so, whether, in view of the probable consideration by the House at an early date of the Summer Time Bill, he will cause the Reports to be laid before the House as soon as possible?
§ Mr. FISHERIn May last year the Board requested the local education authorities to ascertain and report to the Board what had been the effect of the Summer Time Act during 1921. I will have the replies of the authorities summarised and lay a Memorandum on the subject before Parliament.
