HC Deb 22 November 1934 vol 295 c258W
Dr. O'DONOVAN

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Board of Education whether there has been any change in the policy of the Board of Education concerning sanctions to build new non-provided schools?

Mr. RAMSBOTHAM

The Board's policy in the matter, as in the case of proposed new provided schools, is deter mined by the three considerations, to which they are required by Section 19 (1) of the Education Act, 1921, to have regard, namely, the interest of secular instruction, the wishes of the parents as to the education of their children, and the economy of the rates.
