§ MR. FLOWER (Bradford, W.)I beg to ask the Vice-President of the Committee of Council on Education whether the Committee of Council have received from the Religious Education Union a complaint of the course pursued by the London School Board in instituting a canvass of the parents of the children attending Christ Church Schools, Maryle-bone, by the attendance officers of the Board, with the object of justifying an extension of the Board School in Netley Street; and whether such canvass having shown the satisfaction of the parents of the Christ Church school children, and in view of the fact that there are vacant school places in the immediate vicinity, the Committee of Council will withhold their sanction to the proposed enlargement of the Netley Street Board School?
§ THE VICE-PRESIDENT OF THE COMMITTEE OF COUNCIL ON EDUCATION (Sir J. GORST, Cambridge, University)The complaint has been received. The Board has been informed that, in sanctioning the enlargement of the site of the Netley Street School, my Lords have not sanctioned the provision of any additional school places.
