HC Deb 28 March 1876 vol 228 cc701-2
MR. MONK

asked the Vice President of the Committee of Council on Education, Whether the scheme for the management of King Edward the Sixth's School at Nuneaton, which was prepared by the Endowed Schools Commissioners in 1874, and submitted to the Committee of Council on Education, has received the approval of Her Majesty; and, if not, whether he will state the cause of the delay in settling a scheme for that school?

VISCOUNT SANDON

The scheme for the Nuneaton Grammar School was approved by the Committee of Council on Education, according to ordinary practice, on the 17th of April, 1875. It was then, under the Act, obliged to be advertized for two months, and a Petition having been presented, it was laid upon the Table of both Houses at the earliest moment—that is to say, the 24th of June, 1875. The Session closed before the two months had expired during which it had to lie on the Table of both Houses, and therefore it has again to remain on the Table of both Houses for two months during this Session, at the end of which time, unless either House should address Her Majesty against it, it will receive the Royal Assent.
