HC Deb 04 May 1904 vol 134 cc386-7
MR. HUMPHREYS OWEN (Montgomeryshire)

I beg to ask the Secretary to the Board of Education whether any education authority in England or Wales has required, as a condition of making a grant to any secondary school, that any particular form of religious instruction or any religious catechism or formulary which is distinctive of any particular denomination shall not be taught, used, or practised in the school. † See (4) Debates cxv., 19.

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

The Board are only aware of one case which could be considered in any way to correspond to the circumstances described in the Question; and, from the information before the Board, it is by no means clear that the provisions of the Act have been infringed in this case.
