HC Deb 23 July 1891 vol 356 cc124-5
MR. COBB

I beg to ask the Vice President of the Committee of Council on Education whether any, and if so what, steps have been taken to provide a new school in place of the National School, at Kineton (Warwickshire), which was condemned by Her Majesty's Inspector in July, 1890; whether the Department has received satisfactory assurances that the necessary funds for building will be provided by voluntary subscriptions; and, if so, when the new school will be ready for use; and whether, if such assurances have not been given, the Department will adopt the procedure laid down in the Education Acts for the compulsory supply of schools?

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

Plans for a new school were finally approved on the 5th of June, and the Department have no reason to doubt that the necessary funds will be forthcoming, particularly as, upon a recent poll of the parish, the ratepayers rejected a resolution in favour of a School Board by more than two to one.
