HC Deb 27 June 1957 vol 572 cc51-2W
78. Mr. McKay

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Education why, in view of the change in the purchasing power of the £ since 1945, the scale of school fees payable by parents, which was instituted in 1945 on an income basis, has not since been revised; and, since a parent whose previous income of £10 has now risen to £16 in accordance with the rise in the cost of living will now be charged at the £16 level although there has been no increase in the real value of his income, whether he will re-examine the matter with a view to the revision of the scales of payment.

Sir E. Boyle

I have written to the hon. Member.
