§ Mr. GROVESasked the President of the Board of Education whether his attention has been called to the fact that the devaluation of money values has resulted in the substantive grant to highly rated local education authorities being of less value than the amount granted in 1914; and whether he is prepared to consider the revision of these grants in order to place education authorities in these areas in no worse position than they were before 1914?
§ Lord E. PERCYIf the hon. Member will refer to the figures which I gave him in my reply of 19th May last, he will see that the statement made in the first part of the question does not appear to accord with the facts. The second part of the question does not, therefore, arise.
