§ SIR J. FERGUSSON (Manchester, N.E.)In the absence of the hon. Member for the Penrith Division of Cumberland, I beg to ask the Vice President of the Committee of Council on Education whether he has yet arrived at any decision with regard to the action of the Flitwick School Board in discontinuing the construction of the school buildings sanctioned by the last School Board of Flitwick and by the Education Department, and thereby imposing a heavy burden upon the rates of the parish; and whether he can communicate his decision to the House?
§ THE VICE PRESIDENT OF THE COUNCIL (Mr. ACLAND, York, W.R., Rotherham)I am glad to say that the Flitwick School Board have now come to an arrangement with the Department, and undertaken to carry out the plans agreed upon without any further delay.
