HC Deb 12 April 1923 vol 162 c1293
42. Mr. BECKER

asked the President of the Board of Education if he will introduce the per capita system of making grants to local education authorities in place of the percentage grant system now used?

Mr. WOOD

The question of percentage grants is at present under consideration by a Departmental Committee under the Chairmanship of Lord Meston, and the hon. Member will understand that, pending their Report, I cannot make any statement.
