HC Deb 27 June 1938 vol 337 cc1528-9
53. Mr. Lipson

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Board of Education whether he is now able to state the result of the discussions that have taken place with representatives of the Association of Education Committees on the question of the amount of grant payable to local authorities for elementary education?

The Parliamentary Secretary to the Board of Education (Mr. Kenneth Lindsay)

The discussions are still proceeding and the Board's officers are awaiting the comments of the representatives of the local education authorities upon certain information and suggestions which have been laid before them.

Mr. Lipson

When will information on the result of these conversations be available to Members of this House?

Mr. Lindsay

I would not like to give a promise. It is a complicated matter.
