§ Sir F. Markhamasked the Minister of Education what Select Committees, Departmental Committees or other responsible Committees have made special investigations into educational expenditure during the past ten years; and what further investigations are under consideration.
§ Mr. Geoffrey LloydThe Select Committee on Estimates has issued Reports on school building—Eighth Report of the14W Session 1952–53—on technical education—Twelth Report of the Session 1952–53 and on Youth Service grants—Seventh Report of the Session 1956–57. A number of Departmental Committees have dealt with various elements of the education service and many of these have naturally considered the financial aspects of their particular subjects; but there has been no special investigation into educational expenditure as such, nor is any such investigation now under consideration.
