HC Deb 23 February 1903 vol 118 c512
MR. TREVELYAN (Yorkshire, W. R., Elland)

I beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury whether steps have yet been taken to discontinue the grants hitherto made by the Commissioners of Woods and Forests to 104 denominational schools; and whether he can yet inform the House whether there is any other national Department that contributes in the same manner to denominational schools.

MR. A. J. BALFOUR

These grants will be continued up to the appointed day. After the appointed day, the continuation of these grants will be limited to the question of repairs; and the basis of any contribution, if contribution is to be made, is a matter which cannot yet be determined. As to the last part of the Question, I have no information about other Departments, but there would be no objection to a Return if the hon. Member will move for it.
