HC Deb 06 August 1902 vol 112 cc793-4
MR. EDMUND ROBERTSON (Dundee)

I beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury whether he can lay on the Table specimen copies of the various kinds of trust deed which will be affected by the provisions of his proposed new clause in the Education Bill.

MR. A. J. BALFOUR

The trust deeds referred to are not public documents, and I do not think it would be proper to make them the subject of a Parliamentary Return. Their variety, moreover, is so great as to make it impossible to ensure that the specimens selected would be of an adequately representative character.

MR. EDMUND ROBERTSON

Would there be any difficulty in obtaining the model trust deed of the National Society?

MR. A. J. BALFOUR

I should imagine that the society would be very glad to furnish the hon. Gentleman with a copy.
