51. Dr. VERNON DAVIESasked the President of the Board of Education why no representatives of industry were asked to serve on the committee which is advising him with regard to maintenance grants for school children at 14 years of age; and will the representatives of industry be given an opportunity of placing their views before him before he arrives at a decision?
§ Sir C. TREVELYANI asked local education authorities to appoint representatives to form this committee because of their long experience of the administration of maintenance allowances in respect of children attending secondary and central schools. I shall, of course, be glad to consider any views that representatives of industry may wish to place before me.
Dr. DAVIESIs the right hon. Gentleman aware that industry is vitally interested in this question, as the representatives of industry will have to provide the money for the maintenance grants?
