HC Deb 25 January 1971 vol 810 c26W
Mr. Simon Mahon

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if further provision is to be made from public funds for some children of broken marriages to provide for their education and board; and if she will make a statement.

Mr. van Straubenzee

Local education authorities already have adequate powers under the Education Acts to assist with the cost of boarding education in appropriate cases.
