HC Deb 14 November 1929 vol 231 c2204
52. Mr. BEAUMONT

asked the President of the Board of Education whether he has been approached with a request for maintenance grants for pupils attending continuation classes; and what was his reply?

Mr. MORGAN JONES

I have no record of any recent correspondence on this subject. Local education authorities may, in certain cases, grant maintenance allowances to pupils attending continuation classes.

Mr. BEAUMONT

Such grants, I take it, are recognised by the Board?

Mr. JONES

Yes, I think they rank for 50 per cent. grant under the Regulations.
