HC Deb 07 October 1931 vol 257 cc1082-3
22. Mr. EDE

asked the President of the Board of Education the cost of educating a boy at English public residential schools which are state-aided and in comparable establishments in France, Germany and Italy?

Sir D. MACLEAN

The majority of the public schools, as that term is generally understood, are not state-aided. Of the schools represented on. the Head- masters' Conference which are mainly residential, 11 are state-aided, and at these the tuition and boarding fees combined average about £103. I have no information in regard to comparable establishments in other countries.
