§ Mr. D. Jonesasked the Minister of Education the cost in the last year for which figures are available of maintaining a child in a State boarding school.
§ Sir D. EcclesThe approved boarding fees, which are designed to cover the cost of boarding as opposed to tuition, range from £100-£140 per annum at most of the secondary schools with boarding places maintained or assisted by local education authorities. These figures do not apply to residential special schools for handicapped pupils.
