HC Deb 04 March 1897 vol 46 c1583
MR. H. HOBHOUSE (Somerset, E.)

I beg to ask the Vice President of the Committee of Council on Education if he will consider the advisability of repealing the 17s. 6d. limit for evening continuation schools as well as for elementary day schools?

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

The Committee of Council have had this matter under consideration, but it cannot be dealt with in the Bill now before the House.
