§ 28. Mr. R. Morleyasked the Minister of Education how many L.E.As. are now paying fees for pupils at independent boarding schools; and what is the estimated total expenditure per year out of public funds for that purpose.
§ Mr. TomlinsonAs my approval is required only to authorities' general arrangements, including the income scales used, and since I am not informed about the application of the arrangements to individual cases, I am unable to supply the desired information.
§ Mr. MorleyWill the Minister encourage the local education authorities to set up their own boarding schools?
§ Mr. TomlinsonYes, Sir. We are doing that wherever it is possible.
