HC Deb 03 May 1804 vol 24 c236
SIR G. SITWELL (Scarborough)

I beg to ask the Vice President of the Committee of Council on Education whether there exists any precedent for allowing a School Board to contract a new mortgage debt in building new schools before paying off the debt existing on schools they are abandoning or seeking to abandon?

MR. ACLAND

A hypothetical and very technical question like this is very difficult to answer in general terms. If the hon. Baronet will give me the case he refers to, either by question or privately, I shall be glad to give him a full reply.
