HC Deb 08 March 1901 vol 90 cc1033-4
MR. WHITLEY (Halifax)

I beg to ask the Vice-President of the Committee of Council on Education if he will confer with the Treasury as to the possibility of removing the 17s. 6d. limit from the Evening Schools Code, and also as to providing a specific grant for physical instruction in evening continuation schools.

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

The Board of Education cannot undertake to make an application to the Treasury for the removal of the 17s. 6d. limit from the Evening Schools Code. A grant is already made for physical instruction.
