HC Deb 05 December 1957 vol 579 c63W
5. Mr. Hector Hughes

asked the Minister of Education if he is aware that the Government's block grants proposals are detrimental to present educational standards and will restrict the education service where expansion is necessary; and if he will take steps to ensure that as regards education the present system be left unchanged in forthcoming legislation.

Sir E. Boyle

No. I think that expansion can be provided for under the proposed general grant as well as under the percentage grant.
