§ MR. ALLISON (Cumberland, Eskdale)I beg to ask the Vice-President of the Committee of Council on Education why, in reference to the want of accommodation at Hurst Street Board School, Carlisle, the Education Department having called upon the Board in 1896, and again in February 1898, to supply further accommodation by erecting new schools, and having licensed a room in Edward Street as temporary accommodation until such schools were erected, now proposes to withdraw the licence for the temporary room without calling upon the Board to supply the further accommodation required in 1896 and 1898?
§ SIR JOHN GORSTThe reference appears to be to the Brook Street Board School. The Education Department suggested, rather than required, the supply of further accommodation. The School Board is now considering, after reference to the Department, whether any, and what, deficiency exists.
