§ MR. D. H. COGHILL (Stoke-upon-Trent)I beg to ask the Vice President of the Committee of Council on Education, whether the limit of 20s. a child, imposed by Section 26 of the Education Bill, applies to blind and deaf children supported and educated under the Elementary Education Act, 1893 (Blind and 1523 Deaf Children); and, if the limit does apply, will he, considering the expensive character of the education given to blind and deaf children, take steps to specifically exempt them from its operation.
§ SIR J. GORSTClause 26 is not intended to apply to blind and deaf children.
