HC Deb 21 May 1935 vol 302 c186W
Mr. MANDER

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what British schools abroad are subsidised by the British Government: and to what extent in each case?

Sir J. SIMON

The only British school abroad at present subsidised by His Majesty's Government in the United Kingdom is the English School at Cairo. This school is in receipt of a grant-in-aid of 00A3;2,000 a year for 12 years, of which this is the tenth. Provision has been made in the Diplomatic and Consular Estimates for the current financial year for an instalment of 00A3;5,000 of a grant not exceeding 00A3;10,000 towards the foundation of a British girls' school at Alexandria.
