MR. SPENCER BALFOURasked the Vice President of the Council, If his attention has been directed to the delay in carrying out the scheme for the establishment of a middle school for boys in or near the parish of Tonbridge, which was approved by Her Majesty in Council in the year 1880; and, if he could explain the causes of such delay?
§ MR. MUNDELLAThe Governors have had to consider the views of the inhabitants of two different towns in the locality, and the relative advantages of several sites offered to their notice; and they are now expecting a communication from the inhabitants of one of those towns with regard to a site before asking the Charity Commissioners' approval of the same. This will, as far as can be foreseen, be done within a few weeks' time.
