HC Deb 07 April 1955 vol 539 c126W
38. Mr. Short

asked the Minister of Education how many local education authorities have adopted, and how many have partially adopted, Administrative Memorandum 425 and Circular 252 for major awards.

Sir D. Eccles

All but four of the 146 local education authorities have adopted wholly or substantially the rates of grant recommended in Circular 252 and Administrative Memorandum 425. About 12 authorities used an income scale which diverges considerably from that recommended in Administrative Memorandum 425.
