§ MR. ESSEXI beg to ask the President of the Board of Education what is the present position of the trust estate of the Cooper School, Marston Sicca, Gloucestershire; what is its annual net income, and to what purpose is that income now devoted.
§ THE PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD OF EDUCATION (Mr. RUNCIMAN, Dewsbury)A scheme has been drafted for this Foundation, but its publication has been postponed pending the receipt of the observations of the trustees thereon. They have been informed that the Board will proceed to publication unless their observations are received within a fortnight. The local education authority have expressed their approval of the draft scheme. So far as can be ascertained, the net income of the Foundation is about £100. As the school has been closed, the income must continue to accumulate until a scheme has been established.
