§ 71. Mr. Morleyasked the Minister of Education how many dining huts for school meal purposes have been completed and supplied to local education authorities since 6th March, 1947.
§ Mr. TomlinsonSince 6th March, 1947, 40 dining huts have been completed and handed over by the Ministry of Works. To save work, authorities no longer supply building progress reports about hut canteens, but it is estimated that at present under the programme which they are carrying out themselves they have dining huts for about 150,000 children in course of erection.
