§ Colonel Carverasked the President of the Board of Education whether he is now in a position to advise the North Riding of Yorkshire local education authority concerning the repair of damage in an air raid to a school, of which he has been informed; and whether, in view of the difficult circumstances there, he can take any action to assist the authority?
§ Mr. ButlerI am in communication with by Noble Friend the Minister of Works on this case, the difficulties of which are due to the priority of the operational requirements of the Fighting Services. I hope that I shall shortly be in a position to advise the local education authority in the matter.
