§ MR. SUMMERSI beg to ask the Vice President of the Committee of Council on Education if he can state the number of School Boards and School Attendance Committees in England and Wales in which the Standard of halftime exemption, fixed by the bye-laws, is as low as Standard II. and Standard III. respectively, and the number of School Boards and School Attendance Committees in which the standard of full-time exemption, fixed by the bye-laws, is lower than Standard VI?
§ THE VICE PRESIDENT OF THE. COUNCIL (Sir WILLIAM HART DYKE, Kent, Dartford)The information will take a little time to prepare; but. I shall be happy to furnish it, if, in the meantime, the hon. Member will put his request on the Notice Paper in the form of a Parliamentary Return, which, I would suggest, might usefully show the number of cases in which the 917 standard of full-time exemption is now either the IVth or the Vth., rather than those where it is lower than the VIth.
