MR. GRANT LAWSON (York, N.R., Thirsk)

I beg to ask the Vice-President of the Committee of Council on Education how many now School Boards have been formed since the present Government came into office; and how many of such Boards have been created by the Education Department, acting under Section 12 of "The Elementary Education Act, 1870," without application by the electors of the district?

MR. ACLAND

Thirty-one School Boards have been formed since the present Government came into Office. Ten of these have been created under Section 12, Sub-section 2, of the Act of 1870.
