§ MR. LABOUCHEREI beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury whether the Bill authorising an aid grant to necessitous Board Schools is drafted; and whether he will introduce this Bill with a view to its being lead a First time and in the hands of Members befere a division is taken on the Second Beading of the Voluntary Schools Bill, in order that Members may be in possession at once of the contemplated intentions of the Government both in regard to Voluntary Schools and of Board Schools?
§ THE FIRST LORD OF THE TREASURYI do not think any advantage would be gained by introducing this Bill before we have disposed of the Measure dealing with the Voluntary Schools now before the House.
§ MR. LABOUCHEREThe right hon. Gentleman has not answered the first part of ray question.
§ THE FIRST LORD OF THE TREASURYThe Bill is quite ready to be brought in as soon as a proper opportunity offers. (Opposition laughter.)
