HC Deb 26 June 1947 vol 439 cc79-80W
59. Mr. Chetwynd

asked the Minister of Education the number of local education authorities who have adopted, and are carrying out, schemes for the provision of clothing to pupils who are unable, by reason of the inadequacy of their clothing, to take full advantage of the education provided in accordance with Section 51 of the Education Act, 1944.

Mr. Hardman

My right hon. Friend's approval is not required to the exercise by local education authorities of their powers under Section 51. The information asked for is, therefore, not available.
