§ DR. MACNAMARA (Camberwell, N.)To ask the Secretary to the Board of Education if he will state whether evening schools not provided by the local education authorities may continue to receive giants direct from the Board of Education after the appointed day in each case; and, if so, whether the local education authority will have any right to control, supervision, or inspection over such evening schools.
§ (Answered by Sir William Anson.) The answer to the first part of the Question depends upon the regulations of the Board of Education for evening classes (Command Paper 1044, 1902). These regulations are now under consideration in respect of the new issue for the coming year. The rights of the local authority referred to in the second paragraph of the Question will, for the most part, depend, subject to any changes in the regulations of the Board, upon the extent to which, and the conditions on which, the local authority gives aid to such classes.
