HC Deb 13 June 1876 vol 229 c1763
MR. MONK

asked the Vice President of the Committee of Council on Education, Whether he can inform the House of the cause of the dismissal of Mr. F. C. Maxwell from the situation of Assistant Master of Perse Grammar School, Cambridge, by the Head Master, Mr. J. B. Allen; and, whether he can lay any Correspondence on the subject upon the Table of the House?

VISCOUNT SANDON

I have no knowledge whatever of the case to which the Question refers, and I have no jurisdiction whatever over Grammar schools. The control of the masters of those schools rests generally with the Governing Bodies of those schools. I have referred the Question to the Charity Commissioners, and they inform me that no correspondence has passed with them on the subject of the dismissal of the second master; so I am afraid I can give no further information on the matter.
