asked the President of the Board of Education if he is aware that the supply of drinking water at Brampton School, Suffolk, has been declared highly polluted; that there has been an epidemic of scarlet fever among the children; that from the health point of view the school building is in an unsatisfactory state; and will he take steps to have the matter remedied?

I was not previously aware of the particular circumstances to which the hon. Member refers, although I knew that the school premises were defective. I am having inquiries made and will let the hon. Member know the result.
