§ MR. FREDERICK WILSON (Norfolk, Mid.)To ask the Secretary to the Board of Education whether, in cases where a school attendance authority makes by-laws counting the attendance of children at church as attendance at school, the Board of Education will recognise the practice.
(Answered by Sir William Anson.) If a school attendance authority, by by-law or otherwise, signify their readiness to regard attendance of children at church as attendance at school, during the time allowed for religious instruction, either generally or on certain days, the Board would not withhold approval from timetables on which entries of such attendance appeared.
