HC Deb 19 June 1947 vol 438 c242W
78. Mr. Wilson Harris

asked the Minister of Education whether his attention has been called to the grant of £70 by the East Suffolk Education Committee to a retired civil servant towards the fees of his two children at well-known boarding-schools; and whether he proposes to allow such grants to rank for a percentage grant under his regulations.

Mr. G. Tomlinson

Yes. Expenditure by local education authorities on sending pupils to independent boarding schools under approved arrangements ranks for grant from my Department.
