HC Deb 22 June 1893 vol 13 c1648
MR. PICTON (Leicester)

I beg to ask the Vice President of the Committee of Council on Education whether the Education Department will take steps to prosecute any of the surviving parties to the frauds discovered in connection with the accounts of the Morton National Schools?

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

The Department is making further inquiries into this case. If it should appear that there are grounds for placing the matter in the hands of the Public Prosecutor for his investigation, I will lay the matter before him.
