HC Deb 06 May 1948 vol 450 c151W
79. Commander Maitland

asked the Minister of Education how many applications for grants to send children to fee-paying schools have been made; how many of these have been granted; how many have been refused; and how many of the grants allotted were for boarding schools.

Mr. Tomlinson

My approval is required only to the general arrangements made by local education authorities for assisting pupils to attend fee-paying schools, and I am not informed about their application to individual cases. I am, therefore, unable to supply the desired information.
