§ MR. CHANNINGI beg to ask the Vies President of the Committee of Council on Education how long the St. Augustine School at Kilburn has been in receipt of grants as an elementary school; what has been the total income of this school from fees, from Parliamentary grants, and from subscriptions during the last six years; and whether any, and, if so, what, part of the income of this school during the last six years has been applied to building extensions in St. Augustine's or in other public elementary schools?
*THE VICE PRESIDENT OF THE COUNCIL (Sir W. HART DIKE,) Kent, DartfordThe school in question has been in receipt of grants for 15 years. The hon. Member will be able to gather the amount of these grants during the last six years from the Appendix to the Department's Annual Report. It would be an inconvenient precedent if the Department were asked to furnish anything further; but, so far as the information at my disposal goes, there is nothing to justify the assumption that the income of the schools is in excess of their own requirements, or that any part of it is devoted to purposes foreign to their maintenance.
