§ MR. LANE-FOX (Yorkshire, W.R., Barkston Ash)I beg to ask the President of the Local Government Board whether he has yet been able to come to a decision upon the appeal made to the Board on 21st March, 1907, against the decision of the auditor of the accounts of the West Riding County Council, that sums representing fees in respect of the instruction of pupil teachers could, be charged in the accounts as expenditure in respect of elementary education.
§ THE PRESIDENT OF THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT BOARD (Mr. JOHN BURNS,) BatterseaThe appeal is still under consideration, but I hope shortly to be in a position to give my decision with regard to it.
