§ 78. Mr. McKayasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Education why, in view of the change in 52W 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. BoyleI have written to the hon. Member.
