§ Mr. LESLIE SCOTTasked the President of the Board of Education if he would state upon what grounds legal, or constitutional, provisions were introduced into the secondary school regulations of 1907, making grants conditional upon the observance of various prohibitions against denominational religion in connection with teaching, teachers, and governing body; and why under the secondary school regulations now in force no grant whatever is to be given to any new school unless it conforms to the undenominational requirements of the regulations?
§ Mr. TREVELYANI am advised that there is no legal or constitutional objection to the provisions referred to in the first part of the hon. and learned Gentleman's question. The point raised in the second part of the question involves a matter of policy, which cannot be disposed of within the limits of question and answer.
