HC Deb 23 October 1952 vol 505 c1261
44. Mr. Slater

asked the Minister of Education whether the consultations with interested bodies in regard to the financial position of denominational schools have yet resulted in any definite proposals; and when she expects to be in a position to announce the proposals in detail and introduce any necessary measure.

Miss Horsbrugh

Yes, but I cannot say yet when my proposals can be announced.

Mr. Slater

Is the Minister in that very short answer—short in every way—seeking to indicate to the House that there is every possibility that these proposals will be introduced during the next Session?

Miss Horsbrugh

I think I must leave that to the hon. Member to consider for himself.

Mr. Mellish

Could the right hon. Lady explain why the Bill to benefit the brewers came up before this particular Bill?
