HC Deb 08 June 1931 vol 253 c624
86. Mr. HARRIS

asked the President of the Board of Education if local authorities are still being encouraged by him to provide the necessary buildings and train additional teachers for the raising of the school age in April, 1933?

The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the BOARD of EDUCATION (Mr. Morgan Jones)

The answer is in the negative. My right hon. Friend is sending the hon. Member copies of two Memoranda which he has recently issued to local education authorities.

Mr. HARRIS

Does the Department realise how important it is in the interests of education to know what the policy of the Government is in regard to this matter?
