HC Deb 25 March 1897 vol 47 c1318
MR. JOHN BRIGG (York, W.R. Keighley)

I beg to ask the Vice President of the Committee of Council on Education whether his attention has been directed to the judgment given by Mr. Justice Hawkins and Mr. Justice Kennedy in the Queen's Bench Division of the High Court of Justice, on 17th February, on the counting of voting papers at School Board Elections, and, whether in view of the uncertainty and difficulty therein declared to exist, the Lords of the Committee of the Privy Council on Education will so revise their general Order on the subject as to remove all doubt and ambiguity?

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

Yes, Sir, the Committee of Council will consider the matter.
