§ Sir K. JosephI have received four letters. In my replies I am explaining that details of the charges are still under consideration, drawing attention to the arrangements for helping people who cannot afford to pay the charges, and making it clear that there will be no change in the present exemptions for children under 16 or attending school full-time.
