Miss Rathboneasked the President of the Board of Education how he reconciles the figures given in the Board of Education's latest report of 5,300,000 children in England and Wales in elementary and grant-aided secondary schools between the ages of five and 16, and 96,989 children, ages not defined, in non-grant-aided preparatory and secondary schools with his recent pronouncement that, of the 6,500,000 children of the proper ages in schools in England and Wales, approximately 5,000,000 are in non-grant-aided schools?
§ Mr. RamsbothamI regret that I do not understand the Question. The recent pronouncement which the hon. Member attributes to me is entirely incorrect, and was not made by me.
