HC Deb 23 July 1903 vol 126 c79
MR. MANSFIELD (Lincolnshire Spalding)

I beg to ask the Secretary to the Board of Education will he say how many non-provided school managers have received a copy of the Draft Final Order No. 194; whether all the persons who have, or will elect, or be elected representative managers will have to fulfil the conditions relating to qualified persons and qualified subscribers; and will he say whether the persons elected as managers must also be qualified subscribers; and, if so, what course will he taken in electing managers where there are no qualified subscribers.

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

Copies of the Draft Final Order have been sent to all the Managers of the Schools named in the Second Schedule. The representative managers must be "qualified persons" within the meaning of Clause 6 of the Order, but they need not be "qualified subscribers" within the meaning of Clause 7. The electors of representative managers must be "qualified subscribers" but need not be "qualified persons." By the second paragraph of Clause 5, in the event of there being less than eight qualified subscribers, the representative managers are to be co-opted by the other foundation managers.
