HC Deb 17 June 1903 vol 123 c1159
MR. H. J. WILSON

To ask the Secretary to the Board of Education if he will explain the difference between annual grants to schools from the Government Departments, and contributions from the same Departments.

(Answered by Mr. Arthur Elliot.) Annual grants are made annually; contributions are not necessarily annual. They are generally made for some special purpose, though they may be continued in some instances over a period of years.
