§ MR. SAMUEL SMITHIn the interests of the public, who are much mystified on the subject, I beg to ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer at how much he estimates the sum placed at the disposal of the County Councils for technical (including agricultural and commercial) education in England by the Resolution of the House of Commons on Friday, and at how much he estimates the sum applicable to Wales for intermediate education by Resolution of the same date?
§ * MR. GOSCHENThe question of the hon. Member couveys a wrong impression. The money is not placed at the disposal of the County Councils for the purpose stated, but for all such purposes as the Councils were empowered to apply it, and amongst them is technical education. The amount for England and Wales is £743,000. The sum for England, exclusive of Monmouthshire, is £709,000, and £34,000 for Wales and Monmouthshire.
