HC Deb 06 March 1930 vol 236 cc631-2
38. Sir K. WOOD

asked the President of the Board of Education, whether he can now make a further statement upon the main principles upon which need will be assessed in deciding the eligibility for maintenance of children under the Bill for raising the school-leaving age?

Sir C. TREVELYAN

I am not yet prepared to make any further statement.

Sir K. WOOD

Can the right hon. Gentleman indicate when he will be able to make a statement on this important matter having regard to the general public interest taken in regard to it?

Sir C. TREVELYAN

I am not sure when the committee meet again, and I do not quite know what they will do.
