§ Mr. JOHNasked the President of the Board of Education whether the grant to the education authorities of the school in the Rhondda Valley, referred to by him in his speech of 29th November as literally falling about the ears of the children, is a grant provided merely in the sense that a grant has been offered by the Board for the purpose of rebuilding, or a grant actually paid to that authority for that purpose?
§ Lord E. PERCYA grant-in-aid of the authority's expenditure on rebuilding cannot, of course, be paid if no such expenditure is incurred.
