HC Deb 13 July 1899 vol 74 cc695-6
MR. HAZELL (Leicester)

I beg to ask the President of the Local Government Board whether his attention has been drawn to a proposal made by the managers of the Central London School District to spend about £250 in establishing a printing office at the large barrack schools at Hanwell; and whether he will undertake to refuse to sanction such expenditure in accordance with his stated intention of not adding to the existing Poor Law children's institutions, in compliance with the recommendations of the Poor Law Schools Committee.

THE PRESIDENT OF THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT BOARD (Mr. CHAPLIN,) Lincolnshire, Sleaford

I have not received any proposal from the managers of the Central London School District on the subject referred to in the question. I understand that a proposal made by one of the managers to establish a printing press was referred to a committee, but that nothing more has been done in the matter.
