§ 50. Mr. HOAREasked the President of the Board of Education what is the approximate number of children exempted from school attendance under Robson's Act at the age of eleven for the purpose of undertaking agricultural work?
§ Mr. TREVELYANAt the end of the school year there were thirteen children between the age of eleven and twelve on the partial exemption registers of those local education authorities whose by-laws provide for the partial exemption at the age of eleven of children employed in agriculture. This figure relates to the statistical year 1911–12, the latest period for which Returns are available.
52. Major WHITEasked the President of the Board of Education whether, in any further Education Bill he may introduce, he will take steps to improve the conditions existing with regard to the superannuation of school attendance officers?
§ Mr. TREVELYANThe attention of my right hon. Friend has been called to this 2250 matter, but it is impossible at this stage to anticipate the provisions which may be included in contemplated legislation. I may add that some local authorities have obtained powers to adopt superannuation schemes for their employés, amongst whom school attendance officers may be included.
