§ MR. GODDARD (Ipswich)I beg to ask the Vice-President of the Committee of Council on Education whether he will grant the Return of Public Elementary Schools in England and Wales, with the number of scholars provided for and in attendance, and the particulars of income and expenditure, similar to the Return presented in 1894 (C. 7529) which has been placed on the Paper?
§ SIR J. GORSTThe Return asked for is a very costly one, and the particulars required, except as regards income and expenditure, are included in the annual Report of the Committee of the Council. But the propriety of granting the Return will be carefully considered.
