HC Deb 23 May 1887 vol 315 c864
MR. BARTLEY (Islington, N.)

asked the Vice President of the Committee of Council on Education, Whether it is a fact that the valuable site of building land in Victoria Street, belonging to the United Westminster and the Grey Coat Schools, has been for years occupied simply by hoardings with advertisements; whether it is true that several applications have been made for the site for building purposes; and, whether he can say what rent the Charity receives for the hoardings, and at what amount they are assessed for local and Imperial taxation?

THE VICE PRESIDENT (Sir WILLIAM HART DYKE) (Kent, Dartford)

I have no information upon the points raised in my hon. Friend's Question; but I would suggest to him the advantage of addressing himself to the Governors of the Institutions named, several of whom are Members of this House.
