HC Deb 13 June 1873 vol 216 c908
MR. W. H. SMITH

asked the hon. Member for Birmingham, Whether it is his intention to proceed with the Notice which stands upon the Paper in his name for Tuesday in reference to the Elementary Education Act?

MR. DIXON

said, it was not his intention; but on the second reading of the Bill brought in by the right hon. Gentleman the Vice President of the Council, he should move as an Amendment— That no Amendment of this Bill will be satisfactory that does not make attendance of the children at the schools, and the formation of School Boards compulsory throughout England and Wales, and that does not remove the objections generally entertained to the 25th clause of the Elementary Education Act.
