§ MR. CLOUGH (Yorkshire, W.R., Skipton)I beg to ask Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer whether the Second Reading of the Elementary Education (England and Wales) Bill will be taken before the Easter recess.
§ MR. ASQUITHNo, Sir.
§ MR. LANE-FOX (Yorkshire, W.R., Barkston Ash)asked whether there was any truth in the report which was being circulated that the Government were considering the advisability of dropping the Bill.
§ MR. ASQUITHThere is as little truth in that report as in most of the others on the same subject.
