§ MR. R. S. DONKIN (Tynemouth)I beg to ask the Vice President of the Committee of Council on Education whether, in the event of a candidate seeking election on a school board, and having children who are paid officials of that board, and such children canvassing on their parents' behalf, he would be disqualified?
§ MR. A. H. D. ACLANDIf the hon. Gentleman refers, as I assume, to Section 34 of the Elementary Education Act of 1870, the Department have no power to decide any question which arises under that section. The section places the decision under the jurisdiction, of the courts of law.
