§ 77. Lieut. Colonel ACLAND-TROYTEasked the President of the Board of Education whether he is aware that local authorities cannot complete their building programme by 1932; and whether he will extend the time limit for the 50 per cent, grant for another five years?
§ Mr. MORGAN JONESMy right hon. Friend is not prepared to extend the time limit for the 50 per cent, grant, but he 2111 would remind the hon. and gallant Member that the increased grant is payable, not in respect of buildings completed by 1st September, 1932, but in respect of expenditure to which the authorities become committed before that date.
§ Sir K. WOODIs the hon. Gentleman in order in replying to a question from that Bench? Is it because he wishes to dissociate himself from his colleagues?
§ Mr. SPEAKERNo point of order arises.
