§ 19. Mr. NIXONasked the President of the Board of Education if, seeing that 1477 the education grants for children of widows of ex-service men is at present based upon the policy of whether the father, had he lived, would have been in a position to provide such education as secondary or grammar school standard, he will make a change by suggesting to the special grants committee that in future they should base their decision on the principle of whether the child would benefit by such higher education?
Mr. MUIRI have been asked to reply. Perhaps I may be allowed to refer my hon. Friend to the answer on a similar point given to the hon. Member for Tottenham on the 26th ultimo, of which I am sending him a copy.
