§ LORD R. CECIL (Marylebone, E.)I beg to ask the President of the Board of Education whether the legal questions of some importance raised by the managers of the Llangollen Church of England School, were raised by their letter of the 17th of March last; whether a reply to those questions have yet been arrived at, and, if not, what is the reason why so long a period has been found necessary for deciding a point of law.
§ MR. RUNCIMANThe legal questions referred to were raised by the managers in a letter dated the 21st February, and have received careful consideration. I have now decided that there is no reason to depart from the decision which was previously arrived at and which has since been acted upon.
§ LORD R. CECILWill the right hon. Gentleman consider the case of the Garforth School in the West Riding, which seemed to raise very much the same point?
§ MR. RUNCIMANIf the noble Lord wishes to draw any analogy between the two cases, I should like notice of the Question.
