Mr. Glenvil Hall

asked the Parliamenary Secretary to the Board of Education the number of children of school age in evacuated areas who are now receiving no form of education?

Mr. Lindsay

According to the returns made to the Board by local education authorities early in January, the number of school children in evacuation areas receiving no form of education was about 409,000. The hon. Member will understand that the position in this respect is improving daily as more school premises become available.
