HC Deb 02 October 1924 vol 177 cc337-8W
Mr. G. WHITE

asked the President of the Board of Education whether any portion of the proposed special grant. under Section 86 of the Education Act, 1921, will be available for the administrative expenditure of local juvenile organisation committees, or whether it will be confined to organisations represented on such committees?

Mr. TREVELYAN

The special grant in question will be payable to local education authorities in respect of approved expenditure under Section 86 of the Act. The conditions under which it will be payable are indicated in Circular 1338, of which I am sending the hon. Member a copy. I am prepared to entertain, in connection with arrangements submitted under the Circular, proposals by authorities to assist local juvenile organization committees in strengthening their administration.
