HC Deb 20 February 1891 vol 350 cc1228-9
MR. CHANNING (Northampton, E.)

I beg to ask the Vice President of the Committee of Council on Education whether he is aware that in the accounts of the St. Augustine's Boys' School, as published in the "Annual Statement of Work and Funds of the Parish, for the year ending December 31st, 1890," there are charged to the debit of the school the following amounts:—£26 12s. 9d. Sunday school expenses, and deficit on treats £16 8s. 8d., half expenses of parish house; whether these charges appear in the Statement of Accounts furnished to the Department; and whether they are a legal charge on the school fund; and, if not, what steps he proposes, to take in the matter?

THE VICE PRESIDENT OF THE COUNCIL (Sir W. HART DYKE, Kent, Dartford)

If the hon. Member will kindly put his question in a form which will enable me to identify the school to which he refers, I shall be happy to furnish him with all the information in my power.
