§ Mr. KINGasked the President of the Board of Education whether he is aware 10 that the Divisional Court recently decided that the local education authority is bound to provide furniture for a new voluntary school; and whether, seeing that this decision is in conflict with previous practice, the decision will be appealed against?
§ Mr. TREVELYANI must not be taken to accept the hon. Member's reading of the judgment of the Divisional Court in the case of R. v. Easton, to which he no doubt refers, but I understand from my right hon. Friend the President of the Local Government Board that an appeal in this matter is contemplated.
§ Mr. KINGMay we take it that the local authorities may withhold "action on the ground that the matter will before long come before a Higher Court"?
§ Mr. TREVELYANI cannot say what action they had better take. An appeal is contemplated.
