HC Deb 28 June 1934 vol 291 c1316W
Mr. HUTCHISON

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Board of Education whether, in the case of those towns which under their by-laws have extended the school age from 14 to 15 years, there has been any question of the payment of maintenance to the parents concerned; and, if so, of what nature?

Mr. RAMSBOTHAM

None of the three urban local education authorities which have adopted a by-law requiring attendance at school up to the age of 15 awards maintenance allowances for the children concerned.
