HC Deb 06 November 1930 vol 244 cc1035-6
75. Mr. EDE

asked the President of the Board of Education how many local education authorities have not yet received approval by the Board of their 1930–33 programmes?

Sir C. TREVELYAN

All but 58 local education authorities have received the Board's general approval to their programmes. A few of these programmes do not cover the full period 1930–33.

Mr. EDE

When does my right hon. Friend expect that the whole of the programmes will have been received and satisfactory action taken with regard to them?

Sir C. TREVELYAN

Really, most of them have been received already. Of the 58 which have not yet received approval, 25 are now receiving consideration, and 33 have not yet been received, though in many of these cases the authorities are busy with schemes of reorganisation.
