HC Deb 08 March 1923 vol 161 cc698-9
31. Mr. TREVELYAN THOMSON

asked the President of the Board of Education if he will state the estimated amount of grants payable in each of the 12 largest towns in England for the year 1923–24, and the corresponding amounts paid in 1920–21?

Mr. WOOD

The materials for estimating the grants payable to particular towns in 1923–24 are, not yet available. In due course the Estimates of the Board will be laid before Parliament, with statements showing how the total grants are estimated, and on what basis the grants to each area will be calculated.
