§ 83. Mr. Willeyasked the Minister of Education how many education authorities are providing maintenance allowances for school children over the age of 15 years below those recommended by the Weaver Working Party.
§ Mr. ChatawayAn inquiry in 1961 showed that 50 authorities were then paying maintenance allowances at rates below those recommended by the Weaver Working Party but that 14 were then considering revising their arrangements. The level of these allowances is essentially a matter for the discretion of individual authorities.
