Mr. J. Wellsasked the Minister of Education how many education authorities specify the purchase of home-grown timber for use for instructional purposes in schools and colleges under their control.
§ Sir D. EcclesLocal education authorities make their own arrangements for the supply of timber for schools and colleges and I have not felt justified in making the special inquiries which would be necessary to provide the information asked for by my hon. Friend. But I hope this answer will bring the matter to their attention.
