§ MR. SHACKLETON () Lancashire, ClitheroeTo ask the Secretary to the Board of Education are the grants payable under Section XX of the Eveining School Regulations in tended to reduce the total grants usually received by technical schools, or will the variable rates be so increased up to the maximum allowable so that schools of this kind will not be compelled to curtail their technological and commercial instruction.
(Answered by Sir William Anson.) Schools remaining at their former efficiency will receive grants equal to those which they would have received under the Directory of 1901. If increased efficiency is shown, the variable rates allow of increased payments.
