§ 64. Mr. HAYDN JONESasked the President of the Board of Education what is the total number of education authorities in Wales; how many of them have submitted schemes for improving the organisation of education in their area; and whether any such schemes have attached to them the condition that a larger proportion of the expenditure is to be borne by the Board of Education?
§ The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the BOARD of EDUCATION (Mr. Morgan Jones)There are 30 local education authorities in Wales and Monmouth-shire, and of these 21 have already submitted proposals for improving the organisation of education in their areas. In nine cases authorities, when submitting their proposals, have either made it a condition that increased assistance should be given by the Exchequer, or have asked for further financial aid.
