HC Deb 17 December 1942 vol 385 c2056
36. Mr. Lindsay

asked the President of the Board of Education whether it is proposed to continue the award of State scholarships; how many will be available in the coming year; and whether they will be held over for those who are called up for war service?

Mr. Butler

The answer to the first and third parts of the Question is in the affirmative. The number of State scholarships to be awarded in the coming year will be decided when the number of entrants to the Higher Certificate Examinations, on the results of which these scholarships are awarded, is known.
