Mr. W. Joseph Stewartasked the President of the Board of Education the number of black-listed schools, provided and non-provided, in England and Wales, county by county, up to the most recent date?
§ Mr. ButlerI am sending the hon. Member a copy of an answer I gave on 13th May giving,the total number of black-listed schools, provided and non-provided respectively. I do not think that time and labour should be spent on further analysis of the list, since the passage of time—the list is 18 years old—and the effects of the war, particularly enemy action, have made it out of date. A new survey of school premises will be an essential preliminary of post-war educational reconstruction.
