HC Deb 27 July 1944 vol 402 c970

Lords Amendment: In page 58, line i6, at end, insert: the procedure by which a child may become a registered pupil and.

Mr. Butler

I beg to move, "That this House doth agree with the Lords in the said Amendment."

The object of this Amendment is to enable the Minister to authorise local education authorities not to admit a child immediately it reaches the age of five if that date occurs in the middle of a term. In this respect it re-enacts Section 38 (1) of the existing Education Bill.

Question put, and agreed to.

Subsequent Lords Amendments to page 55, line 28, agreed to.
