§ 26. Mr. HAMMERSLEY (for Sir J. WARDLAW-MILNE)asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Board of Education at what date Circulars 1,421 and 170 will come into force; and how many children are likely to be affected by the policy outlined in these circulars?
§ Mr. RAMSBOTHAMIt is proposed that the Regulations which accompanied Circulars 1,421 and 170 (Wales) shall have effect as from 1st April, 1933. No 307 precise estimate of the number of children likely to be affected will be possible until the arrangements to be submitted by local education authorities and governing bodies have been received and considered by the Board.
§ Mr. MORGAN JONESCan my hon. Friend tell me whether there is any obligation to lay these Papers on the Table of the House?
§ Mr. RAMSBOTHAMI understand that the procedure depends on the terms of the Rules Publication Act. Alter a period of not less than 40 days from publication the Board can seal the Regulations, and lay them before Parliament.
