HC Deb 08 May 1907 vol 174 c224
MR. HENRY (Shropshire, Wellington)

I beg to ask the President of the Board of Education whether the Board of Education will refrain from giving grants to those training colleges for elementary school teachers which impose the condition that candidates who desire to enter these colleges should be compelled to submit to confirmation and to the creeds and catechisms of any particular church inconsistent with the religious belief and conviction of the candidate.

THE PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD OF EDUCATION (Mr. MCKENNA,) Monmouth, N.

Pending the issue of the Training College Regulations, which I hope will take place very shortly, I regret I cannot make any statement as to the conditions of the admission of students which will in future be imposed.
