HC Deb 25 November 1902 vol 115 c383
MR. HERBERT ROBERTS (Denbighshire, W.)

I beg to ask the Secretary to the Board of Education whether he is aware that the children at the National Schools, Llangollen, were on the 7th instant, and during school hours, subjected to inquiries as to the religious beliefs of their parents, and that the children of Nonconformists were told to stand upon the forms upon that occasion; if he will state whether such a differentiation of the children was made by the direction of the managers, and what was the object of the course taken; and whether such a proceeding is in accordance with the rules of the Board of Education.

THE SECRETARY TO THE BOARD OF EDUCATION (Sir WILLIAM ANSON,) Oxford University

I have no information on the matter. If any complaint should be addressed to the Board of Education, inquiry will be made.
