HC Deb 03 July 1899 vol 73 c1386

Considered in Committee.

(In the Committee.)

Motion made, and Question proposed— That it is expedient to authorise the payment, out of moneys to be provided by Parliament, of a salary, not exceeding £2,000, to the President of the Board of Education, and of salaries and remuneration to the secretaries, officers, and servants of the Board, in pursuance of any Act of the present session to provide for the establishment of a Board of Education for England and Wales."—(Sir John Gorst.)

DR. CLARK (Caithness)

I beg to move that you, Sir, report Progress, and ask leave to sit again.

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

I hope the hon. Member will allow us to take this stage, which is really only formal.

DR. CLARK

I object to public money being spent on education in England when £75,000 is being lost to Scotland. This is the only control we have over this Bill, as it is to be sent upstairs to a Committee.

Committee report Progress; to sit again To-morrow.
