HC Deb 05 November 1902 vol 114 c143
MR. STEVENSON (Suffolk, Eye)

I beg to ask Mr. Attorney General whether the spending powers of the Education Committees to be established under Clause 12 of the Education Bill are intended to be analogous to those of the Standing Joint Committees, as provided by Section 75 (16) (J) of The Local Government (England and Wales) Act, 1888; or whether the County Councils will be able to limit the amount of their expenditure, and to define the specific objects on which the money is to be spent.

THE ATTORNEY GENERAL (Sir ROBERT FINLAY, Inverness Burghs)

I think that this Question could more conveniently be dealt with in discussion on the Clause itself.
