HC Deb 18 February 1924 vol 169 cc1360-1W
Sir C. COBB

asked the President to the Board of Education whether, having regard to the statement contained in Circular 1320, that organised visits to the British Empire Exhibition at Wembley during school hours by pupils from elementary schools under the guidance of their teachers will be recognised as school attendances under Article 44 of the Elementary Education Code, the Board have yet decided whether expenditure incurred by local education authorities in arranging such visits will rank for Government grant under Section 118 (2) of the Education Act, 1921?

Mr. TREVELYAN

The matter is at present receiving the close attention of the Board, and I will issue a statement as early as possible.
