HC Deb 09 March 1950 vol 472 cc13-4W
75. Sir S. Holmes

asked the Minister of Education whether, having regard to the financial provisions of the Education Act, 1944, for non-provided schools and to the new conditions now prevailing, he will re-open discussions on costs of building with the parties concerned.

Mr. Tomlinson

Any amelioration of the position of the voluntary schools must be sought within the framework of the Education Act, 1944. I have already taken steps to reduce the cost of school building and conversations on other aspects of the matter are proceeding with representatives of the denominations.
