HC Deb 23 June 1925 vol 185 c1330W
Major KINDERSLEY

asked the President of the Board of Education the average cost per week of a scholar in the elementary schools, including costs of administration?

Lord E. PERCY

On the basis of the figures for the financial year 1923–24, the average weekly cost per public elementary school pupil is 4s. 4½d. for 52 weeks in the year. In this connection, I may refer the hon. and gallant Member to page 9 of the Memorandum on the Board's Estimates, 1925–26 [Cmd. 2386], a copy of which I am sending him.
