§ Mr. WHITEasked the President of the Board of Education whether the education policy of His Majesty's Government includes any proposals based on the report of the Departmental Committee on Private Schools?
Mr. STANLEYAs I informed the hon. Member for South Shields (Mr. Ede) on 11th December last, I can hold out no hope of Parliamentary time being at present available for what will be a complicated and probably contentious Measure. In addition, the local education authorities will be fully occupied during the next few years in giving effect to the Government's policy of educational reforms, and I should be reluctant to add to their burdens at the present time by legislation in the direction which the hon. Member has in mind.
