§ 10. Mr. GRAHAM WHITEasked the President of the Board of Education if he will consider the advisability of fixing a date after which grant will not be payable in respect of elementary school classes in which the numbers exceed 40?
§ Mr. TREVELYANI am extremely anxious that early and rapid progress should be made in the reduction of the size of classes, but I do not think it would be advisable or practicable for me at the present stage to go so far as the hon. Member suggests. I may, however, refer him to the reply which I gave on the 17th July last to my hon. Friend the Member for South East Ham (Mr. Barnes), and also to paragraph (3) of Circular 1334, copies of which I am sending him.
