56. Mr. W. Joseph Stewartasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Board of Education the produce of a 1d. rate per unit of average attendance, and the rates levied for elementary education purposes, in each of the administrative counties of England and Wales?
§ The Parliamentary Secretary to the Board of Education (Mr. Kenneth Lindsay)As the answer to the first part of the question contains a large number of figures, I will, with the hon. Member's permission, circulate it in the OFFICIAL REPORT. Since no rate is specifically raised by county authorities for elementary education purposes, I am unable to give the figures for which the hon. Member asks in the second part of his question.
