HC Deb 12 December 1893 vol 19 c1161
SIR A. ACLAND-HOOD (Somerset, Wellington)

I beg to ask the Vice President of the Committee of Council on Education will he explain why it is that, in the case of the Timberscom be national school in the County of Somerset, the Education Department has refused the £10 grant under Article 105 of the Code, notwithstanding that the grant was recommended by Her Majesty's Inspector, and that the expenditure of the school was greater than the income by £25?

THE VICE PRESIDENT OF THE COUNCIL (Mr. ACLAND, York, W. R., Rotherham)

This school has an annual endowment of £50, and has also gained over £20 by the substitution of fee grant for fees. There are no voluntary contributions at all. Such a case is not of those which were intended to be met by the Article in question.
