§ 28. Colonel Ropnerasked the Minister of Education what applications for grants have been made to his Department during the past three years for the improvement of sanitary conditions in rural schools in the West Riding of Yorkshire; and what grants have actually been made for this purpose during the same period.
§ Mr. TomlinsonI regret that this information is not available. There is no special grant for work of this type, which is eligible for the main grant applicable to most educational expenditure incurred by local education authorities. Since the beginning of this year my prior approval has not been required for such work where the cost was not over £5,000.
