HC Deb 22 March 1937 vol 321 c2556
59. Mr. Ede

asked the President of the Board of Education whether expenditure by an education authority in aiding a suitable candidate to enter the Royal Navy through the special entry class will be regarded as ranking for grant?

Mr. Shakespeare

Any proposal from a local education authority for aiding naval cadets would be considered by the board in consultation with the Admiralty, and any expenditure by the authority would rank for grant if it were made in accordance with arrangements approved by the board for the purpose.

Mr. Ede

Will the hon. Gentleman see that a circular is sent to all local education authorities informing them of this new provision?

Mr. Shakespeare

I think that this question and the answer will have a similar effect.
