HC Deb 02 December 1925 vol 188 c2251W
Lieut.-Colonel HORLICK

asked the President of the Board of Education what steps he is taking with a view to investigating alternative and more economical methods of building schools; and whether he is considering the construction of steel and concrete buildings?

Lord E. PERCY

I have appointed a small expert committee to consider the question of school building with special reference to the use of new materials and methods of construction and the reduction of cost, and I hope to receive an interim report from them very shortly. I understand that construction in steel and concrete is among the various types of construction under the Committee's investigation.
