Major Whiteleyasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Board of Education whether he is satisfied that the provision of elementary education in Slough is fully sufficient for the needs, both present and in the immediate future, of the district?
Mr. LindsayFour of the existing schools in Slough are at present over-crowded, but it is anticipated that this overcrowding will be relieved when proposals for certain new schools, already settled or in course of settlement, are provided. The general position however, must be regarded with some anxiety, owing to growth of population and building of new housing estates, and the Board have instructed His Majesty's Inspector to watch developments and to report in September.
