HC Deb 09 March 1970 vol 797 c252W
86. Mr. Wright

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what extra allocation of resources he proposes to make to provide for an increase in the school leaving age.

Mr. Ross

The raising of the school leaving age in 1972–73 is one of the demands on resources which will be taken into account later this year in determining rate support grant for 1971–73 on the lines indicated in paragraph 30 of "Public Expenditure 1968–69 to 1973–74" (Cmnd. 4234).
