§ * MR. F. A. CHANNING (Northampton, E.)On behalf of the hon. Member for the Eye Division of Suffolk (Mr. F. S. STEVENSON), I beg to ask the Vice President of the Committee of Council on Education whether the Department will allow their share of the special grant to schools, whose managers object to their joining associations in the formation of which they were not consulted, as un-associated schools?
§ SIR J. GORSTThe objections of managers to joining associations will in each case be considered on their own merits. No general rule can be laid down.
