HC Deb 06 July 1914 vol 64 c841W
Mr. HOARE

asked the President of the Board of Education whether he will circulate a White Paper setting out the objects to which it is intended to devote the Finance Bill Grants for purposes other than elementary education and the approximate amounts which it is proposed to expend upon them?

Mr. PEASE

I told the House on Tuesday, 23rd June, that we proposed to allocate £395,000 to secondary education, £100,000 to technical education, £65,000 for training of teachers, and to start a pension scheme for teachers in secondary and technical schools, and £150,000 for universities. I do not think I can go further than this at present, but I can assure the hon. Member that I am most desirous that there should be full opportunity for discussion of any Regulations for the distribution of the money before they become operative.
