§ Sir G. Mitchesonasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Board of Education whether he can furnish an approximate estimate of the number of children of school age now in the county of London; and when it is proposed to take steps to resume their full-time education?
Mr. LindsayI regret that the information asked for in the first part of the question is not available. I am sending my hon. Friend a copy of the statement which I made in the House on 1st November announcing the Government's decision to allow the re-opening of schools in certain circumstances in evacuation areas.
