HC Deb 18 July 1876 vol 230 cc1527-8
Mr. CHARLEY

asked the Vice President of the Council, Whether he will direct that the acceptance of tenders for building the proposed new Board Schools for the township of Armley, near Leeds, advertised to be sent in to-morrow, be withheld until the application of Mr. William Ewart Gott, of Armley House, the Committee of the estate of the Lord of the Manor of Armley, for a Parliamentary Grant for his Boys' National School had been disposed of by the Education Department?

VISCOUNT SANDON

, in reply, said, the application of Mr. Gott had been carefully considered by the Education Department, and they were of opinion that they would not be justified in acceding to it. Under these circumstances, the Department would not interfere with the contemplated board schools at Armley.
