HC Deb 13 December 1934 vol 296 c550
18. Mr. THORNE (for Mr. McENTEE)

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Board of Education whether he will state in full the income limits generally adopted for secondary school special places as qualifying a family with one, two, or more children for exemption or partial exemption from payment of fees?

Mr. RAMSBOTHAM

The scales of income limits were framed by the several local education authorities having regard to local circumstances, the amount of the fees charged and the number of special places offered. They vary widely as between one area and another, and there is no scale which can properly be described as that generally adopted.
