§ MR. STANLEY LEIGHTON (Shropshire, Oswestry)I beg to ask the Vice President of the Committee of Council on Education if he will explain why 833 a copy of the schemes of management of the Intermediate Education Fund in the County of Carnarvon, of the Grammar or Friars School, Bangor, and of the Grammar School, Bottwnog, which was presented to the House and ordered to be printed on the 9th February, have not yet been printed and circulated; and whether he is aware that the period allowed for moving an Address to Her Majesty, praying Her Majesty to withhold Her consent from such schemes, expires on the 9th April?
§ MR. ACLANDThe dates mentioned are as stated by the hon. Member. The scheme was sent to the Stationery Office on February 9th, but, on inquiry, I find that it has not yet been received back from the printers. I regret the delay that has taken place. Meanwhile the scheme has been available to the public for some time, and copies can be obtained at the Charity Commission Office.
§ MR. STANLEY LEIGHTONasked if the right hon. Gentleman would withdraw the schemes and present them again, so that the period contemplated by the Statute for objections should not be curtailed?
§ MR. ACLANDAs the scheme has been available to the public for some time, I do not think that would be necessary.
§ MR. STANLEY LEIGHTONsaid that on Thursday he should move an Address to Her Majesty praying her to withhold her assent from the schemes.
