§ SIR FRANCIS POWELL (Wigan)I beg to ask the Secretary to the Board of Education whether the provisions of the Education Bill, 1902, under which local education authorities are compelled to provide elementary public school accommodation, extend to the provision of evening elementary schools under Clause 18 of the Bill as reprinted.
§ THE SECRETARY OF THE BOARD OF EDUCATION (Sir WILLIAM ANSON, Oxford University)The effect of sub-Section (1), Clause 18, of the Bill, will need consideration; but it does not appear that the duty to provide public elementary school accommodation under the Bill extends to the provision of evening elementary schools under that sub-Section.
