HC Deb 11 March 1943 vol 387 c850
34. Mr. Hannah

asked the President of the Board of Education the total number of local education authorities; and how many have submitted schemes for educational reconstruction in the districts controlled by them?

Mr. Butler

There are 315 local education authorities in England and Wales. I am not sure to what my hon. Friend refers when he speaks of schemes for educational reconstruction. If he has in mind schemes under Part II of the Education Act, 1921, the answer is that no such scheme has been made and that that part of the Act is in abeyance. But perhaps he will communicate with me on this subject.

Mr. Hannah

Has any scheme been made in connection with the proposed school bases?

Mr. Butler

A Question about that matter comes next on the Paper.
