§ MR. GEORGE WHITE (Norfolk, N.W.)I beg to ask the President of the Board of Education whether he can state 653 approximately the balances held by the treasurers of the denominational schools of England and Wales, or the Diocesan Schools Societies on their behalf, when the schools were transferred to the educational authorities under the Act of 1902; and whether these balances were not all derived from public funds.
§ THE PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD OF EDUCATION (Mr. BIRRELL, Bristol, N.)I have no information as to the amount of the balances in question. They would consist of balance of income from all sources, including fees, if any, income from endowment, if any, and voluntary subscriptions, as well as Parliamentary grants.
