HC Deb 07 April 1892 vol 3 cc823-4
MR. STANSFELD (Halifax)

I beg to ask the Vice President of the Committee of Council on Education whether the Barkisland Endowed School Scheme, approved by the Charity Commissioners on the 8th August, 1890, and submitted to the Committee of the Privy Council, has been considered by him, and with what result?

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

This scheme is strongly opposed in the locality, and the Department is now in communication with the Charity Commissioners with a view to meeting a demand for more direct local representation on the Governing Body, and in order, among other things, to modify certain provisions of the scheme which the Education Act of last year has rendered obsolete.
