§ MR. ERNEST GRAYI beg to ask the Vice President of the Committee of Council on Education whether scholars attending examinations for labour certificates within the area of the Glusburn School Board are charged a small fee; under whose authority such a charge is imposed; whether it is said to be a charge to cover the cost of stationery; and whether such a charge is a violation of the provisions of the Day School Code?
§ SIR JOHN GORSTThe only communication on the subject which has reached the Education Department is a letter which I received this morning from the Clerk to the School Board, denying that any such charge has been made for the last three examinations.
§ MR. E. GRAYHas the right hon. Gentleman any authoritative information from the Board itself?
§ SIR JOHN GORSTThe letter I received was from the Clerk to the School Board.
