§ SIR WALTER FOSTERI beg to ask the Vice-President of the Committee of Council on Education, whether he is aware that inconvenience is arising from the delay in publishing a list of schools certified under the Elementary Education (Defective and Epileptic Children) Act, 1899, and that children are in some instances being kept in unsuitable homes in receipt of outdoor relief from the guardians, as the district councils cannot obtain the names of schools to which they can be sent; and whether, under the circumstances, the schools at Chalfont St. Peter could be provisionally certified.
§ THE VICE-PRESIDENT OF THE COMMITTEE OF COUNCIL ON EDUCATION (SIR J. GORST,) Cambridge UniversityNo schools can be certified under the Act until the Minute laid upon the Table on February 28th has become valid on March 28th.
