HC Deb 14 July 1927 vol 208 c2328W
Mr. SHORT

asked the President of the Board of Education the present capital value per child of the existing elementary school buildings and secondary school buildings, respectively, in England and Wales?

Lord E. PERCY

I am unable to give the information for which the hon. Member asks. To obtain it would involve, among other things, the ascertainment of the original cost of every public elementary and secondary school, and an examination of each school by experts in order to make the necessary allowance for depreciation.
