HC Deb 18 March 1926 vol 193 cc579-80
30. Mr. VIANT

asked the President of the Board of Education whether the Ipswich Education Committee have, as an admitted result of Circular 1371, increased the fees in their secondary schools from £6 to £9 and reduced free places to 25 per cent.; and whether he will now advise the authority to restore its previous policy since he has announced the withdrawal of the Circular.?

Lord E. PERCY

I have received from the authority no intimation that they have decided either to increase the fees or to reduce the percentage of free places.

Mr. VIANT

Has the right hon. Gentleman any information as to whether any authority has increased the fees?
