HC Deb 29 May 1952 vol 501 c178W
71. Mr. G. Thomas

asked the Minister of Education the names of the local education authorities to which she has addressed a communication seeking to know why they have not effected greater economies in their estimates in accordance with her Circular 242.

Miss Horsbrugh

I am sending the hon. Member a list of authorities to whom such letters have so far been addressed.

73. Mr. Chetwynd

asked the Minister of Education which local education authorities have been advised that their economies, in accordance with Circular 242, are insufficient; and what further economies have been requested.

Miss Horsbrugh

Certain local education authorities, of which I am sending. the hon. Member a list, have been invited to explain why their April estimates show increases, or comparatively small decreases, as compared with their forecasts. The letters have not expressed the view that the economies are insufficient or that further economies should be made.
