§ 58. Mr. GRAHAM WHITEasked the President of the Board of Education the extent to which additional bursaries or maintenance grants have been given by those education authorities which have already raised the school-leaving age to 15?
§ Sir C. TREVELYANOne of the four local authorities which have raised the age of compulsory school attendance to 15 has adopted a scheme of maintenance allowances to public elementary school children over the age of 14. The amount expended by this authority on such allowances in 1928–29 was £234.
Lieut.- Colonel Sir FREDERICK HALLWill the right hon. Gentleman say which are the four authorities?
§ Mr. G. WHITECannot the right hon. Gentleman obtain information from the other authorities?
§ Sir C. TREVELYANI do not think that they can give the information.
Major OWENIs the right hon. Gentleman aware that in the case of Carnarvon the amount which the Board are prepared to subscribe for this purpose is considered much too inadequate?
