HC Deb 07 August 1893 vol 15 c1428
MR. BARTLEY (Islington, N.)

I beg to ask the Vice President of the Committee of Council on Education whether, in the Minute of the 24th July last on the subject of the Evening Continuation School Code, the variable grants of 1s. 6d. and 1s. for cookery, laundry work, and dairy work in evening schools granted by the Code is withdrawn for teaching those subjects in evening schools?

MR. ACLAND

The variable grants of 1s. and 1s. 6d. were never intended to apply to cookery, laundry work, and dairy work, for which grants on a different scale are made in Sub-sections (c), (d), and e (of) Article 13. The alteration in the Minute of the 24th July was made in order to remove an ambiguity in the Article as it stood.
