HC Deb 23 March 1897 vol 47 c1172
MR. W.E.T. SHARPE (Kensington, N.)

I beg to ask the Vice President of the Committee of Council on Education whether similar figures to those for the Board Schools throughout England and Wales, given in the last Report of the Committee of Council, Table No. 9, pp. 612–615, on the number of scholars who in each year proceed to the third stage in specific subjects, are published for the London Board Schools; and, if not, whether the Vice President would have a Return made for the last five years, and a similar one given in future annexed to the Annual Reports of the Committee of Council?

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

I do not think it would be possible to give in the Annual Report the Return asked for in respect of any individual School Board, but I can give the hon. Member the figures for the London School Board for the last five years, if he wishes.
