§ 74 and 75. Mr. McKayasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Education (1) if he is aware that fees, assessed on an income scale, are being charged to Catholic parents in Northumberland whose children have 130W won free scholarships but have been transferred on religious grounds to St. Cuthbert's Grammar School; and whether he will arrange for these sums to be refunded;
(2) in view of the fact that no school fees are charged to parents who send their children to denominational primary schools, whether he will ensure that no fees are charged to parents whose children have won free scholarships to nondenominational secondary schools who then choose on religious grounds to send them to denominational secondary schools.
§ Sir E. BoyleThe hon. Member has written to me about this matter. I am looking into it and will write to him as soon as possible.
