§ Mr. ORMSBY-GOREasked whether the Grant payable to the Victoria Council School, Wrexham, will be reduced owing to the closing of a portion of the infants' department of this school owing to infectious disease, although no reduction of Grant would be made if the whole school were closed; and whether the Board can see their way to amend Articles 43–45 of the Code of Regulations, 1909, with a view to making the same allowance to schools partially closed as is made to schools completely closed under recommendation of the local sanitary authority?
§ Mr. TREVELYANThe facts are generally as stated in the first part of the question. The answer to the second part of the question is in the negative; my right hon. Friend is not prepared to amend the Articles in question except in connection with a general revision of the system of Grants for public elementary schools.
