§ MR. PICTON (Leicester)I beg to ask the Vice President of the Committee of Council on Education whether any approximate estimate has been made by the Department of the number of schools to whom the grant under Article 105 of the Code will be payable during the year ending 30th August next; and if he will state the number?
§ THE VICE PRESIDENT OF THE COUNCIL (Sir W. HART DYKE,) Kent, DartfordIt was roughly estimated, when the new Code was in preparation, that about 4,500 schools might receive the additional grant under Article 105, but, so far as we can judge, the estimate may not be fully realised.
