HC Deb 21 February 1901 vol 89 c692
MR. KENYON (Lancashire, Bury)

I beg to ask the Vice-President of the Committee of Council on Education whether, pending the decision in the Court of Appeal in the case of Regina v. Cocker-ton, he will advise the Board to continue the grants to such Schools as may be affected by the judgment of Justices Wills and Kennedy, and whether any legislation' is in contemplation on the subject should their judgment be confirmed.

THE VICE-PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD OF EDUCATION (Sir J. GORST,) Cambridge University

The Board has already informed the schools affected that the status quo will be maintained until final judgment. The Board will want to see what that judgment is before deciding what action should be taken upon it.
