HC Deb 31 March 1949 vol 463 cc1450-1
63. Mr. Skinnard

asked the Minister of Education to what extent social and economic local surveys are being carried out as part of the courses in the various types of secondary schools; and whether travelling expenses necessarily incurred, especially in rural areas, in carrying out these projects are completely met by the local authorities and rank for grant.

Mr. Tomlinson

Local surveys are undertaken by many secondary schools. The expenses involved, including that of any necessary travelling, are met by the local education authorities who receive grant on their expenditure.
