Day-Time Centres

Viscountess ASTOR
asked the President of the Board of Education, approximately, how many young persons below the age of 18 years attended the day-time educational centres, which were set up after the Armistice, while they were in receipt of unemployment benefit?

Mr. WOOD
I have no figures showing the total number of young persons below the age of 18 who ever at any time attended the centres; but the maximum number in attendance at any one time was about 17,000 daily.
