§ 63. Mr. BEAUMONTasked the President of the Board of Education whether he proposes to make any changes in the Board's Regulations with regard to grants to local education authorities; and, if not, if the interpretation of the Board of the product of the 7d. rate has been altered as a result of the Local Government Act, 1929?
§ Sir C. TREVELYANThe Regulations governing the Board's grants for elementary education will contain only minor changes. The product of the 7d. rate 599 will be calculated by reference to the reduced values brought about by the Local Government Act, 1929.
§ Mr. BEAUMONTDo I understand from the right hon. Gentleman's answer that the 7d. rate will be the actual rate received by the local education authority, as opposed to the assessed rate—that de-rating will be taken into account?
§ Sir C. TREVELYANIt will be on the same principle as at present, subject to the differences caused by the Local Government Act.
