HC Deb 09 December 1925 vol 189 cc487-8W
Mr. LINDLEY

asked the President of the Board of Education the amount of the reduction of the grant which will be

August, September, October, and November, 1925?

Colonel LANE-FOX

The particulars, so far as they are available, are as follow:

sustained by the Rotherham Education Authority in consequence of the application of the proposals of the Circular 1,371?

Lord E. PERCY

The grants for the year 1924–25 for the Rotherham Authority have not yet beer finally determined, though the authority probably have sufficient data before them to be able to calculate the approximate amounts. But apart from this it is not practicable at this stage to form a comparison between the amount of the grants for 1926–27 proposed under Circular 1,371 and the amount which would be payable for that year under the existing system, since the latter sum must be calculated upon data which cannot be determined until after the end of the year 1926–27.
