HC Deb 03 March 1908 vol 185 c535
MR. CARLILE (Hertfordshire, St. Albans)

On behalf of the noble Lord the Member for Marylebone, East, I beg to ask the President of the Board of Education if he will state what number of children have been withdrawn from the religious instruction in non-provided schools since the passing of the Act of 1902.

MR. MCKENNA

I regret that the Board of Education have no information on the subject, except as to one county.

MR. CARLILE

Will the right hon. Gentleman kindly get the information?

MR. MCKENNA

No, Sir; I cannot undertake to obtain it. I can give it for one county which I have—a Welsh county.

MR. CARLILE

In the absence of any other information I shall be glad to have it.
