§ MR. O'GRADY (Leeds, E.)I beg to ask the President of the Board of Education whether, in view of the fact that the teaching of music in the elementary schools at Leeds which has been given since 1882, and has resulted in benefit to the scholars, there being at present 547 children receiving instruction,, the fees paid more than counterbalancing the expenses during the whole period,, there is any intention on the part of the Board of Education vetoing such teaching, in future.
§ THE PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY TO THE BOARD OF EDUCATION (Mr. LOUGH, Islington, W.)The attention of my right hon. friend has only recently been called to this matter, and an official letter has already been sent to the Leeds Education Authority sanctioning the arrangements under certain reasonable conditions.
