HC Deb 18 March 1943 vol 387 c1351W
Mr. Lindsay

asked the President of the Board of Education whether expenditure by a local education authority on education research is liable for grant-aid?

Mr. Butler

The power of a local education authority to aid research is defined in Section 74 of the Education Act, 1921. Expenditure incurred by an authority in the exercise of that power is eligible for the Board's grant.
