§ MR. RANKIN (Herefordshire, Leominster)I beg to ask the Vice President of the Committee of Council on Education whether, in view of the new regulation in the Code of 1892, Section 106, Sub-section (b), paragraph (v), it would be competent for the Technical Instruction Committee of any County Council to aid any evening schools with respect to those scholars who, having passed the fifth standard in an elementary school, are presented for examination in any special subjects which are permitted to be taught by the Science and Art Department as technical instruction subjects?
§ SIR WILLIAM HART DYKEThere is nothing, so far as I am aware, to prevent a Local Authority giving aid to evening schools in respect to those scholars who under Article 106 (b) (v) of the Code are no longer receiving instruction in the obligatory or standard subjects.
