64. Duchess of ATHOLLasked the President of the Board of Education the name of any county in which children are obliged to attend school beyond the age of 14 where maintenance allowances are granted to such children to enable them to attend school after that age?
§ Sir C. TREVELYANThe education authority for the County of Carnarvonshire has adopted a byelaw requiring attendance at school up to the age of 15, and has also in operation a scheme of maintenance allowances for children over the age of 14.
Duchess of ATHOLLWill the right hon. Gentleman take note that the question was meant to refer to "country" and not "county"?
§ Sir C. TREVELYANI am sorry. I will give the Noble Lady a reply in that sense.
§ Mr. ORMSBY-GOREAre all the maintenance allowances given by Carnarvonshire on a flat rate?
§ Sir C. TREVELYANI am not quite sure.
Major OWENIs the right hon. Gentleman aware that there is a flat rate in Carnarvonshire of 3s. a week?
