HC Deb 07 April 1927 vol 204 c2242
19. Mr. R. RICHARDSON

asked the President of the Board of Education what are the total sums which he expects to economise on the estimated expenditure for 1927–28 under the headings (1), (2), and (3), respectively, in the second paragraph of Circular 1388?

Lord E. PERCY

The final estimates of Local Authorities for 1927–28 have not yet been received, and it is, therefore, impossible to say to what extent, in any particular case or cases, their estimated expenditure may exceed the standards mentioned in paragraph 2 of Circular 1388, or to anticipate how far such excess may be capable of justification in each instance.
