§ MR. TATTON EGERTON (Cheshire, Knutsford)I beg to ask the Vice President of the Committee of Council on Education whether he will consider the advisability of enlarging Section 88 of the New Code, so as to afford relief to schools from which children have been absent owing to the prevalence of influenza or other epidemic disease, by excluding from the attendances which go to make up the average attendance of the year such period of sickness, on the representation of the school managers and the certificate of the Sanitary Authority?
§ SIR WILLIAM HART DYKEWhen the Code is in the hand of Members, my hon. Friend will see that words have been introduced which will give effect to his suggestion.
