HC Deb 08 May 1913 vol 52 c2235W
Mr. KEIR HARDIE

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, as a result of his conferences with the Minister for Education, he is now in a position to announce that an addition is to be made to the sum allocated to assist educational authorities to efficiently carry out their duties in necessitous school areas?

Mr. LLOYD GEORGE

The Government are now giving their most careful attention to the question of Education Grants from the Exchequer to local authorities, but in the meantime they fear they do not see their way to authorise any extension of the Grant to necessitous school authorities.
