HC Deb 07 May 1925 vol 183 cc1127-8
44. Miss WILKINSON

asked the President of the Board of Education how many authorities, if any, have agreed to reorganise their schools according to Circular 1, 350, at the age of 11; and how many are making nine the dividing age?

Lord E. PERCY

I would refer the hon. Member to the reply (of which I am sending her a copy) given by me on the 16th March, 1925, to my hon. Friend the Member for East Ham North (Mr. C. W. Crook), in which I indicated that the suggestions made in the Circular are not intended necessarily to be applied by local authorities to the schools in their areas as a whole.
