HC Deb 09 July 1896 vol 42 c1109
MR. HENRY J. WILSON (York, W.R., Holmfirth)

I beg to ask the Vice President of the Committee of Council on Education whether he has any information confirming (or otherwise) the statement recently made by the Archbishop of Canterbury that 90 per cent. of the Church schools would not be affected by the new rules of staffing (Code, Art. 73, small print); and, whether he will grant a Return showing the schools whose staff falls below that scale?

SIR J. GORST

The information in the possession of the Committee of Council fully bears out his Grace's statement. The Return asked for would be very costly, and I do not think that, the circumstances, it is required.
