HC Deb 29 April 1901 vol 93 cc59-60
CAPTAIN NORTON

I beg to ask the Vice-President of the Committee of Council on Education whether, so long as the present law is unchanged, evening continuation classes under the London School Board will continue to be held.

SIR J. GORST

This is a question to be determined by the London School Board. No communication has been received by the Board of Education which leads me to suppose that they will be discontinued.

DR. MACNAMARA (Camberwell, N.)

May I ask whether it is proposed by legislation this session to legalise the work of the School Board in instructing adults in their night schools.

SIR J. GORST

Nothing can be stated until the Education Bill is brought in.

MR. LOUGH

Is the House to understand that it will be legal for the Board to continue these schools in the meantime?

SIR J. GORST

No, Sir, the hon. Member is to understand nothing from me.
