§ MR. MUNDELLA (Sheffield, Brightside)I beg to ask the Vice President of the Committee of Council on Education whether he will furnish the House estimates of (1) the number of day schools; (2) the number of children on the registers of such day schools as will be benefited by the adoption of the New Code and the New Code Bill now before the House; and what is the estimated total cost of the increased grants, in addition to the ordinary grants and in addition to any special Parliamentary grant made under Section 19 of the Act of 1876?
§ SIR W. HART DYKESo far as can be estimated from the data at my disposal considerably more than half of the Departments of Schools for older scholars will be benefited pecuniarily by the New Code; but it will be my duty, in explaining that document and the Bill in connection with it, to give the House the fullest information in my power upon the points to which my right hon. Friend has referred.
