HC Deb 25 February 1897 vol 46 cc1136-7
MR. J. BRIGG (York, W. R Keighley)

I beg to ask the Vice President of the Committee of Council on Education, if, in the definitions of the Voluntary School, the expression "Voluntary School" may be taken to include the evening classes as well as the day classes which exist in public elementary day schools?

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

A Voluntary School is defined to be a day school. A day school would not mean an evening class. [Laughter.]
