§ MR. BENNETT (Lincolnshire, Gainsborough)asked the Vice President of the Committee of Council, If his attention has been drawn to the action of the Rev. T. B. Vaughan, secretary and treasurer of the Upton-cum-Kexby National School, in giving written notice and threatening to enforce payment of more than double the usual school fees for children of parishioners who had not continued the payment of voluntary contributions which they had formerly made; and, whether the Government propose to take any action in the matter?
§ THE VICE PRESIDENT (Sir LYON PLAYFAIR) (Leeds, S.)The Rev. T. B. Vaughan has acknowledged, in a letter addressed to the Department, that in the case of two persons he has acted as described in the Question of the hon. Member. This action is quite unjustifiable, and Mr. Vaughan will be so informed by the Department.
