§ MR. MUNDELLAasked the Vice President of the Council, Whether he is 855 now prepared with a scheme for relieving certificated teachers from the large amount of compulsory and unremunerated clerical labour imposed upon them by the Revised Code?
§ LORD GEORGE HAMILTONWe have considered the question, and shall be prepared after Christmas to state how we propose to reduce to a minimum the Returns necessary to carry out the Education Acts. It will not, however, be possible this year to dispense with the Returns required to be made on the 1st of January, 1879, to the local authorities under the Education Act, 1876.
