HC Deb 26 July 1910 vol 19 cc2077-8W
Lord CHARLES BERESFORD

asked the President of the Board of Education whether he is aware that all Scottish education authorities have the power to superannuate their attendance officers; and, seeing that the English and Welsh education authorities have not this power. Whether he can see his way to remove [...]ifference?

Mr. RUNCIMAN

I understand that the Scotch school boards have powers of the character referred to. I am afraid that I cannot undertake to introduce the legislation which would be necessary to confer similar powers on local education authorities in England and Wales.
