§ 68. Mr. POTTSasked the Minister of Labour on what grounds he cannot recognise expenditure on the part of the Barnsley Local Education Authority in respect of unemployed juveniles attending the authority's school camp during two weeks in 1935?
§ Sir J. BLINDELLThe expenditure in question is properly chargeable to the authority's ordinary education account and is eligible for grant from the Board of Education. As stated on 25th June by my right hon. Friend the President of the Board of Education, the Board have already notified the authority of their recognition of the expenditure for the purposes of their grant.
§ Mr. POTTSIs the hon. Gentleman aware that the amount already sanctioned is not the amount that has actually been spent; and will he ask the Minister of Labour to give further consideration to the question of whether this expenditure on unemployed juveniles is not money well spent?
§ Sir J. BLINDELLThe answer definitely states that the expenditure in 1319 question is chargeable to the authority's ordinary education account and is eligible for grant from the Department.
