HC Deb 31 July 1930 vol 242 c724W
Mr. SORENSEN

asked the President of the Board of Education the number of school camps arranged by local education authorities for this season, and the total cost thereof borne by the Government?

Sir C. TREVELYAN

I am unable to state the exact number of school camps arranged by local education authorities, as a number of authorities have not yet submitted particulars of their arrangements for the present season. Arrangements already approved will involve expenditure of about £13,000 from public funds, apart from contributions by parents or from voluntary sources. Grant from the Board in respect of this expenditure will amount to, approximately, £3,800.
