HC Deb 11 February 1926 vol 191 c1229
58. Mr. TREVELYAN

asked the President of the Board of Education whether the Board are refusing their approval of maintenance grants in the Country of Carnarvon?

Lord E. PERCY

I have intimated to the authority that, apart from the question whether it is desirable that maintenance grants should be made to children whose attendance at school is compulsory, it does not appear to me consistent with the intention of paragraph 4 of Administrative Memorardum 44 that they should include in their estimates for the year 1926–27 provision for a new scheme of maintenance allowances applicable to pupils attending public elementary schools.
