HC Deb 05 February 1962 vol 653 c17W
Mr. Owen

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer why the Inland Revenue authorities refuse to grant a child allowance for a child over 16 years attending for instruction at a mentally-handicapped centre.

Mr. Barber

I presume the reason is that the child does not satisfy the statutory condition applicable to a child over 16, that he or she is receiving full-time instruction at a university, college, school or other educational establishment
