§ Major TRYONasked the President of the Board of Education which local education authorities have submitted schemes providing for the completion of schemes of reorganisation of their schools by 1st April, 1931; and how many have submitted schemes providing for the reorganisation of a majority of the schools for which such reorganisation is desirable by that date?
§ Sir C. TREVELYANI will send the hon. and gallant Member the list of authorities for which he asks. I may, however, remind him that the full effect of raising the school leaving age, as from 1st April next, will not be felt until the summer of 1932, by which time, as I have already stated, it seems likely that at least 142 local authorities will have substantially reorganised most of their areas.
