§ Major HILLSasked the President of the Board of Education whether, in view of the success of the Tottenham Education Committee in dealing with physically defective children at the Meeting House Lane School, and the consequent saving to the ratepayers in rendering such children self-supporting, the revised and cheap estimate submitted by the Committee for the establishment of a centre for physically defective children at Parkhurst Road Infant School will be accepted?
Mr. FISHERI am not sure what school is referred to. The only "special" school provided by the Tottenham Local Education Authority is a day school for SO deaf children, and I understand that they send some 10 blind and 10 other physically defective children to schools outside their area. The Meeting House Lane School appears to be in Camberwell and is conducted by the London County Council. In 1920 the Tottenham Local Education Authority submitted a proposal for the establishment of a small special school for 40 crippled children which I was unable to accept, but the proposal has not been renewed.
