HC Deb 16 July 1896 vol 42 c1642
MR. H. HOBHOUSE (Somerset, E.)

I beg to ask the Vice President of the Committee of Council on Education, what has been the result of the Amendment carried in this House to the Donington Educational Scheme, and how it has affected the grammar school, which has been in existence for 170 years; and, what will become of the educational endowments under the amended scheme?

SIR J. GORST

The result of the Amendment, as explained at the time to the House of Commons, is to extinguish the trust for the maintenance of the grammar school of the foundation. The endowments in question will revert to the use of the poor of Donington, in accordance with the terms of Mr. Cowley's original bequest.
