§ Mr. MUGGERIDGEasked the President of the Board of Education whether His Majesty's inspectors are now required, with a full understanding that counter-instructions issued in 1922 and/or 1923 have been withdrawn, to report in detail upon any defect in structure, lighting, heating, water supply and sanitary arrangements in the course of the normal routine of their inspection of schools; and whether, in this event, he is able to furnish a statistical report under these heads for the year ending April, 1928?

§ Sir C. TREVELYANIt is one of the functions of His Majesty's inspectors to make such reports. They enable my Department to take action on individual cases; but it would not be possible, without a disproportionate amount of labour, to furnish any statistical information such as is suggested.
