HC Deb 19 June 1925 vol 185 cc961-2W
Commander BELLAIRS

asked the Minister of Health, in reference to the rule in the Education Act, 1921, Section 87 (3), that a local education authority is entitled to make use of a cleansing station belonging to a sanitary authority for the purpose of cleaning verminous children, whether this applies equally to the bulk of the cleansing stations which are owned by boards of guardians at an agreed sum, or, in default of agreement, at a sum fixed by the Minister of Health?

Lord E. PERCY

I have been asked to reply to this question. I am advised that a board of guardians is not a sanitary authority, and that, accordingly, the provisions of Section 87 (3) of the Act do not apply to such a case.
