§ Miss WILKINSONasked the President of the Board of Education what active steps he is taking to assure himself that the children in the distressed areas have warm clothes and watertight boots?
§ Lord E. PERCYOne of the objects of the Lord Mayor's Fund is to provide suitable clothing and boots for children in the distressed mining areas, and I am satisfied that those responsible for the organisation of the fund, with whom I am in close touch, are doing their best, through the agency of the local education authorities and otherwise, to ensure the necessary provision.
