HC Deb 20 March 1947 vol 435 c94W
67. Mr. S. Marshall

asked the Minister of Education, as the raising of the school-leaving age to 15 years will not be effective until the beginning of the autumn term this year, if he will consider the advisability of postponing it until April, 1948, in view of the altered economic conditions prevailing and the almost total lack of extra teachers, books and buildings.

Mr. Tomlinson

No, Sir.
