HC Deb 26 March 1901 vol 91 c1365
MR. TALBOT

I beg to ask the Vice-President of the Committee of Council on Education what basis is taken for calculating deficiencies in school accommodation in the district of the London School Board.

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

The basis taken is always the amount of accommodation for which a given school is actually recognised by the Board of Education.

MR. TALBOT

Is the basis of population determined by the last census, or by the present estimate of population?

SIR J. GORST

Perhaps the right hon Gentleman will put the question down for Thursday, when I shall be able to answer it.
