§ 79. Mr. Llewellynasked the Minister of Education whether she will consider the burden of education costs on the rates with a view to making them wholly or in part a national burden.
§ Miss HorsbrughNo. I am not prepared to consider making the cost of the public education service wholly a charge upon the Exchequer. The operation of the present education grant formula is due to be reviewed as part of the general review of the settlement of 1948 when re-valuation has been completed.
