HC Deb 23 February 1931 vol 248 cc1786-7W
Mr. SANDHAM

asked the President of the Board of Education if he has considered the resolution passed by the Jarrow education authority asking that legislation to provide boots for necessitous school children be introduced on the lines of the Children (Provision of Footwear) Bill, 1928; and whether, in view of the worsened condition of the children to-day, he intends to introduce such legislation?

Mr. MORGAN JONES

A Bill dealing with this subject; introduced by a private Member, is already before the House.
