§ MR. CLOUGH (Yorkshire, W. R., Skipton)I beg to ask the President of the Board of Education whether, in view of the fact that a circular, No. 549, addressed, 15th November, 1906, to the managers of the national school, Skipton, 365 relating to the new nomenclature for non-provided schools then in preparation, that a properly convened meeting of those managers considered the circular on 11th December, 1906, and resolved that, by reason of there being two Church of England schools in the town, in order to avoid confusion, they would choose the name of Skipton Parish Church School, and sent a copy of this resolution to the local education authority, and that those managers were informed, on 18th April, 1907, that the name of the school as printed in the forthcoming list will be Skipton Parish Church of England, he will state why the wishes of the managers have been disregarded and the words "of England" added to the epithet.
§ MR. MCKENNAThe Board considered that wherever "Church" was proposed the full name "Church of England" should be used, and this rule was followed in the case of the Skipton school. But I am considering, in connection with the next issue of the list, whether any modification of this rule should be allowed in these cases where the name "Parish Church" was asked for.
