§ MR. FLOWER (Bradford, W.)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether his attention has been called to the fact that Rule 4 of the Field Lane Industrial School has been adopted in place of Rule 13, relating to religious instruction, formerly approved by the Home Office, and if this is in accordance with his intention; and whether he proposes to sanction a similar course in other industrial schools?
§ THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE HOME DEPARTMENTThe answer to the first paragraph of the Question is in the affirmative. The chief feature of this Rule is that it specifies the days and times for the attendance of the ministers of the different religious denominations, as required by this Act; and I see no objection to the insertion of a similar provision in the rules of other schools.
