§ 29. Mr. TREVELYANasked the President of the Board of Education whether he has yet issued his proposed communication in reply to the deputation from the Association of Education Committees urging upon him the desirability of legislation raising the obligatory age of school attendance to 15 years; and whether this communication will be published?
§ The PRESIDENT of the BOARD of EDUCATION (Lord Eustace Percy)I hope to send the association the statement referred to in the course of the next few days. As regards the second part of the question, I understand that the association would prefer that the statement should not be published before they have had an opportunity of considering it further and conferring with me again.
