HC Deb 27 October 1954 vol 531 c278W
Mr. Awbery

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies if he will take steps to set up local education committees in the Federation of Malaya.

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

There is already an advisory committee on education in every State or Settlement.

Mr. Awbery

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies if he will make a statement on the results of the consideration of the increase of fees for secondary schools in Malaya; and what steps he will take to prevent hardships arising from the increase, which will prevent the children of most workers from obtaining a secondary education.

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

I have nothing to add to the reply which I gave last week to the hon. Member for Eccles (Mr. Proctor).
