HC Deb 27 April 1910 vol 17 c434
Mr. BRIDGEMAN

asked the President of the Board of Education whether he intends to compensate the managers of the Oxford Street School, Swansea, for the expense and inconvenience to which they have been put by the misconstruction of the law on the part of the Board, as shown by the recent judgment of the Court of Appeal?

Mr. RUNCIMAN

I cannot admit the assumption on which the question is based. Notice of appeal to the House of Lords is being given, and, as I understand, that a speedy decision may be expected, it seems better to postpone discussion in this House until the case has been finally decided.

Mr. BRIDGEMAN

Will the right hon. Gentleman and the Attorney-General pay the Court of Appeal costs out of their own pockets; the expense was utterly unnecessary?
