HC Deb 17 April 1905 vol 145 c310
MR. BENN

I beg to ask the Secretary to the Board of Education if he will state the amount of the additional rate incurred to date in the administration of the London Education Act, 1903; and whether he can at present give any estimate of the total addition to the rates which that measure involves to the Metropolis.

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

I am afraid I have no official information on the subject.

MR. BENN

Does not the hon. Gentleman's Department, publish particulars of the cost of education? If not, to whom am I to go for the information?

SIR WILLIAM ANSON

The question of rates is not one which concerns my Department.
