HC Deb 08 March 1880 vol 251 cc551-2
MR. THOMSON HANKEY

asked the Vice President of the Committee of Council on Education, When the Scheme No. 252, for the Tunbridge Grammar School, will be laid before Parliament; and, if the Scheme No. 253, respecting the Endowment of the Skinners' Company Charities, will be laid before Parliament at the same time?

LORD GEORGE HAMILTON

Sir, the Schemes 252 and 253 in connection with Tunbridge are still under the consideration of the Department; but a decision will be announced within the next few days. It is impossible to say whether it will be necessary to lay the schemes before Parliament. This depends upon whether any Petition is presented requiring the Education Department to do so.
