HC Deb 01 November 1929 vol 231 c488W
Mr. EDE

asked the President of the Board of Education which of the local education authorities for elementary education would receive less than 50 per centum of their expenditure in Government grants by the application of the formula for grant, giving county councils, county boroughs, municipal boroughs, and urban districts separately?

Sir C. TREVELYAN

There are 58 local education authorities who, on the latest available figures, will for 1928–9 receive, under Article 2 of Grant Regulations No. 1, a grant of less than 50 per cent. and who will, therefore, receive, under Article 5, an additional sum to bring their total grant up to the statutory minimum of 50 per cent. I am sending my hon. Friend a list of the names of the local education authorities.
