HC Deb 25 June 1896 vol 42 c55
MR. HUBERT DUNCOMBE (Cumberland, Egremont)

I beg to ask the Vice President of the Committee of Council on Education, whether his attention has been called to the transfer of an assistant mistress, on the 29th ultimo, under the Egremont School Board, from Bigrigg Mixed School to the Bookwell Infant School, Egremont; and whether such transfer will delay the teacher's certificate under paragraph 63 of the Education Code; and, if so, whether he will intervene to prevent any injustice being done?

THE VICE PRESIDENT OF THE COUNCIL (Sir JOHN GORST,) Cambridge University

The attention of the Committee of Council has been drawn to the matter. If the teacher had remained in her former school, her parchment certificate would not have been issued before the 1st November 1897. She will now become entitled to it on the 1st December 1897, under Article 63 of the Code; and, under the exceptional circumstances, the Committee of Council will be prepared to issue it on that date, if she applies for it.
