HC Deb 27 February 1936 vol 309 c670W
Mr. JAGGER

asked the Minister of Labour whether he will estimate the saving in unemployment allowances that would take place if all children reaching 14 years in 1936 and 1937 were kept at school until they reached 16 years of age; and will he consider the advisability of establishing a scheme whereby continued attendance at school should be considered as part of a training scheme under which parents would qualify for a maintenance grant?

Mr. E. BROWN

I regret that it is not possible to make any estimate of the kind asked for by the hon. Member. The second part of the question should be addressed to my right hon. Friend the President of the Board of Education.
