HC Deb 15 June 1891 vol 354 c404
MR. SUMMERS

I beg to ask the Vice President of the Committee of Council on Education whether it is the intention of the Government, by Clause 5 of the Elementary Education Bill, to give School Boards power to remit the fees of all children under 5 and over 14 years of age?

SIR W. HART DYKE

School Boards will certainly have the power to remit fees in respect to such children, provided that this policy meets with the approval of the ratepayers.
