§ Sir J. WITHERSasked the President of the Board of Education the total additional expenditure on elementary education contemplated by the programmes of local education authorities for the years 1930 to 1933; and the total capital expenditure contemplated by the programmes on the provision or improvement of elementary school accommodation for purposes of reorganisation?
§ Sir C. TREVELYANI am unable to supply the information asked for, as the programmes have not yet been received from all local education authorities.
§ Sir J. WITHERSasked the President of the Board of Education how much of the cost of re-organisation is attributable to the necessity for providing accommodation, equipment, etc., of a superior type for the additional age group of elder children; and whether, in his estimates of £2,500,000, any allowance is made for the cost of re-organisation to provide for that group?
§ Sir C. TREVELYANThe estimate of £2,500,000 includes provision for accommodation and equipment for the additional age-group of older children, but does not include any provision for the cost of the general re-organisation required for children below the age of 14.
