§ MR. CHANNINGI beg to ask the Vice President of the Committee of Council on Education, with reference to the letter from the Education Department to the London School Board on 17th of February last stating that it was necessary, in order to supply the deficiency, that the Board should build for not less than 650 in Block H of West Lambeth, whether the Board are making this provision or have undertaken to do so; if not, what steps he will take to enforce compliance with the orders of the Department and to secure the provision of this accommodation, which was sanctioned by the Department in August, 1889?
§ MR. ACLANDThe facts are as stated by the hon. Member. The Department, no doubt, has very large powers in 1002 dealing with School Boards on matters of this kind, but I have not yet decided what further steps to take.
