§ MR. T. G. FARDELL (Paddington, S.)I beg to ask the Vice President of the Committee of Council on Education if he has considered the petition recently presented to the Education Department, stating that, in the opinion of the School Board for London, some of the existing School Board divisions are too large for electoral purposes, and praying the Education Department to move Parliament to re-arrange for electoral purposes such divisions as they may deem necessary; and whether the Education Department propose introducing a Bill in Parliament this Session to remedy the grievance?
§ THE VICE PRESIDENT OF THE COUNCIL (Sir JOHN GORST,) Cambridge UniversityThe petition has been received and considered, but I believe the Government do not intend to bring in a Bill on the subject.
