Viscountess ASTORasked the President of the Board of Education (1) how many local education authorities have already submitted schemes for educating all children from 11 to 15 in central schools, higher tops, or senior classes, in accordance with the report of the Hadow Committee;
(2) how many schemes for the education of children between the ages of 11 and 15 will be completed by April, 1931?
(3) how many children between the age of 11 and 15 will be provided for under schemes completed by April, 1931?
§ Mr. MORGAN JONESPractically every authority has plans for re-organisation under consideration, if not already in operation; and nearly 2,000 Departments have been affected by schemes of re-organisation during the last two years. The number of such schemes which are likely to be completed by 1st April, 1931, cannot be estimated until the local authorities' programmes for 1930–33 are received.
