§ Brigadier-General MAKINSasked the President of the Board of Education if he has any statistics which show the annual cost per child for elementary education in France, Germany, United States of America and Great Britain at the present time?
§ Sir C. TREVELYANThe expenditure on elementary education from central and local public funds in England and Wales, for the year 1928–29, amounted to £12 10s. 5d. per child in average attendance. I regret that I am unable to give comparable figures for the other countries referred to, but I am sending the hon. and gallant Member such information as I. possess in regard to their expenditure on elementary education.
