HC Deb 22 March 1926 vol 193 c896W
Mr. T. WILLIAMS

asked the President of the Board of Education if he will state the exact accommodation for elementary school children in the following districts, and the number of children in each district between the ages of five years and 14 years: Armthorpe, Rossington, Hatfield, Stainforth, Edlington, Askern, and Thorne?

Lord E. PERCY

The information asked for is as follows:

District. Accommodation. Number on books aged 5–14, on 31st March, 1925.
Armthorpe 413 152
Rossington 1,597 1,471
Hatfield 379 315
Stainforth 1,544 703
Edlington 1,418 1,558
Askern 1,055 1,030
Thorne 1,112 951

I may add that additional elementary school accommodation to meet the needs of all these rapidly developing mining areas is either in contemplation or in actual course of provision.
