HC Deb 19 July 1922 vol 156 c2090W
Mr. MILLS

asked the Minister of Pensions whether it is proposed to cancel the grants already decided upon to children of soldiers killed in the War; whether he is aware that children are being withdrawn from secondary schools where part of their tuition has been completed: and whether he can reconsider this decision and allow those already at school to complete their studies?

Major TRYON

There is no intention to withdraw any education grant properly given under the Regulations of the Special Grants Committee, but in some cases grants have necessarily been terminated because the conditions of the Regulations were not satisfied. I have no power to authorise the Committee to continue grants in such cases.
