HC Deb 24 July 1923 vol 167 cc248-9W
Mr. EDE

asked the President of the Board of Education if he can ascertain how many of the entrants at Newnham and Girton Colleges during the past three years were at any time educated in a public elementary school, and how many were at any time educated in rate-aided secondary schools; and what proportion these two classes of entrants bear to the total entrants?

Mr. EDWARD WOOD

The colleges do not receive grants from the Board, and I have no authority to ask for the information. I will, however, send a copy of the hon. Member's question to the college authorities, and if they are good enough to furnish me with any information on the subject, I will send it to the hon. Member.
