HC Deb 16 July 1896 vol 42 cc1646-7
MR. HOBHOUSE

I beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury whether, in accordance with his statement of 14th May, the Government have considered the advisability of referring opposed schemes of the Endowed Schools Commissioners to a Select Committee for inquiry before they are rejected or amended in the House; and, what course will be taken with such schemes in future?

THE FIRST LORD OF THE TREASURY

Before a new Session commences I shall indicate what the views of the Government are upon this subject.
