HC Deb 25 July 1923 vol 167 cc455-7
80. Mr. W. GRAHAM

asked the President of the Board of Education whether he can state when the Report of Lord Emmott's Committee dealing with questions affecting the superannuation of teachers will be issued? whether provided by local education authorities or aided by them, and also in the other secondary schools officially recognised by the Ministry of Education; and what were the total numbers of boys and girls, respectively, in the years referred to who were in attendance at the publicly provided or aided secondary schools as scholars or free-placers on the one hand and as fee-payers on the other?

The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY, MINISTRY of HEALTH (Lord Eustace Percy)

As the answer contains a number of figures, my right hon. Friend will, with the hon. Member's permission, circulate it in the OFFICIAL RBPORT.

Following is the answer:

Lord E. PERCY

My right hon. Friend is not in a position to make any statement.

Mr. W. GRAHAM

Cannot even an approximate date be suggested for the issue of this Report, in view of the very long Recess?

Lord E. PERCY

I am afraid my right hon. Friend really is not in a position to state, even approximately, when the proceedings of this Committee will terminate.
