§ SIR EDWARD SASSOONI beg to ask the President of the Board of Education whether children attending a contracted-out school will be excluded from the benefits of the scholarship schemes administered by the local education authority and maintained solely out of public money.
§ MR. MCKENNANo, Sir, not necessarily. The Bill in no way limits the liberty which the local authorities now enjoy in making schemes for their own scholarships.
§ SIR EDWARD SASSOONWill the right hon. Gentleman indicate that to the authorities so as to prevent any injustice being done?
§ MR. MCKENNAThe existing law is not changed on the subject. The liberty the authorities now enjoy they will continue to enjoy.
