Brigadier-General BROWNasked the President of the Board of Education whether, seeing that the education of children recruited from outside the area of any particular local education authority, but boarded at an institution within such area, is an inequitable charge on the local education authority, will he take steps to enable the Board of Education to obtain the requisite powers, statutory or otherwise, to ensure that the total cost of educating such children shall be made a national charge?
Mr. WOODI may refer my hon. and gallant Friend to the reply I gave on the 27th November last to the hon. Gentleman the Member for Consett (Mr. Dunnico).
