HC Deb 30 June 1896 vol 42 cc386-7
MR. HERBERT LEWIS

I beg to ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer how he proposes to apply the money provided in this year's Budget for the purposes of the Education Bill, which, in consequence of the withdrawal of that Bill, will not now be required?

THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER (Sir MICHAEL HICKS BEACH,) Bristol, W.

If the hon. Member will refer to the statement made by my right hon. Friend the Leader of the House on the occasion of the withdrawal of the Education Bill, he will see that Her Majesty's Government anticipate that the amount in question may still be required.
