HC Deb 06 July 1896 vol 42 c783
MR. CHARLES BILL (Staffordshire, Leek)

I beg to ask the Vice President of the Committee of Council on Education, whether he will grant a further Return, following on [C. 7829] of 1894, showing, by counties, for each Elementary School examined in England and Wales, the name and denomination of the school, the number of scholars for whom accommodation was provided, the average number of scholars in attendance, the annual grant paid, and particulars of school income and expenditure?

SIR J. GORST

A Return of the income and expenditure of individual schools was given in 1894, and, as it is an expensive Return to procure, and throws considerable labour on the staff of individual schools, the Committee of Council cannot undertake to furnish another Return after so short an interval. The rest of the information asked for is to be found in Part IV. of the Appendix to the Annual Report of the Committee of Council.
