HC Deb 05 October 1944 vol 403 cc1119-20
39. Mr. Creech Jones

asked the Minister of Education what is his policy in regard to the unanimous recommendations of the Fleming Committee contained in Scheme A; and how he proposes that places at direct-grant schools should be filled when the number of applications exceeds the vacancies.

The Minister of Education (Mr. Butler)

Before reaching a final decision on this matter, I am awaiting the considered opinions of the Governing Bodies' Associations and the Headmasters' Conference on the Fleming Report. I expect to receive them in the course of this month.
