asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Board of Education whether he will state the number of schoolchildren subject to dental treatment at 31st December, 1937, or the nearest convenient date, and the number who received treatment accordingly?

Figures for the year ended 31st December, 1937, will not be available until next May. The latest figures are those for the year ended 31st December, 1936, which are contained in the reply which I gave to my hon. and learned Friend on 31st May last.
