§ MR. C. DALRYMPLEsaid, he wished to ask the Vice President of the Council, Whether in poor and populous districts, where it is reported that school accommodation is insufficient, the Government, for the sake of stimulating local efforts, will be prepared to offer grants for building on a more liberal scale than at present during the year of grace allowed to school districts under the Bill upon Elementary Education?
§ MR. W. E. FORSTERsaid, in reply, that the Question of the hon. Gentleman referred not so much to the Bill before Parliament as to the conditions upon which the public money should be given for the purposes of education. He must repeat the answer that he gave the night before last to the hon. Member for Southwest Lancashire (Mr. Assheton Cross), that upon the Bill becoming law, and the Government becoming aware of the precise form in which it had passed, they would re-consider all matters in relation to grants.
