HC Deb 06 April 1910 vol 16 c565W
Mr. LANE-FOX

asked the President of the Board of Education whether he will state the Grants made from the £100,000 voted for the erection of provided schools in single school areas under his predecessor; whether in any case a Grant has been made to supply an ordinary deficiency in school accommodation, or whether Grants have been actually restricted to areas in which no provided school existed; and whether the Board will make any such Grant for the building of a provided school to supply an ordinary deficiency?

Mr. RUNCIMAN

A statement of the Grants paid up to 31st March, 1910, will be laid on the Table of the House very shortly. No Grants have been made to supply an ordinary deficiency in school accommodation, but the Grants are not restricted under the Regulations-to areas in which no council school exists. The answer to the last paragraph is in the negative.
