HC Deb 08 May 1930 vol 238 cc1151-2W
Sir W. EDGE

asked the President of the Board of Education if he can give the numbers of exemptions which have been granted to children at various ages between 14 and 15 by the education authorities of East Suffolk, Carnarvonshire, Cornwall, and Plymouth which have adopted 15 as the upper limit of compulsory school attendance?

Sir C. TREVELYAN

I am sending the hon. Member a copy of an answer which I gave, on 7th November last, to the Noble Lady the Member for Kinross and West Perth (Duchess of Atholl), which will, I think, give him substantially the information he desires.
