HC Deb 28 July 1930 vol 242 cc35-6
65. Mr. GRANVILLE

asked the President of the Board of Education, if, in view of the unusually heavy charges falling upon county education authorities in respect of the conveyance of children rendered necessary under reorganisation schemes, he will consider making provision for the payment of increased grants in respect of the cost of conveyance of children?

66. Lieut.-Colonel WINDSOR-CLIVE

asked the President of the Board of Education whether he is aware that his refusal to accede to the request of the County Council Association for an in- creased grant in aid of the cost of conveyance of school children is likely seriously to prejudice the success of schemes of reorganisation as recommended by the Hadow Committee; and whether he is prepared to reconsider his refusal?

The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the BOARD of EDUCATION (Mr. Morgan Jones)

I would refer the hon. Members to the answer which my right hon. Friend gave last Thursday to the hon. Members for Barnard Castle (Mr. Lawther) and Bridgwater (Mr. CroomJohnson) a copy of which I am sending them.
