HC Deb 15 May 1912 vol 38 cc1134-5
Mr. KING

asked the amount of school pence paid in the year ending 31st July, 1911, to the managers of council schools, Church of England schools, Wesleyan schools, Roman Catholic schools, and schools of all other denominations, respectively, and the total of all school pence paid in the same period in the public elementary schools of England and Wales receiving an income from school pence?

Mr. PEASE

The information the hon. Member desires will be found in the Return ordered by the House of Commons on 21st February last at the instance of the hon. Member.

Mr. KING

Is the right hon. Gentleman aware that the totals were not given in the Return as they usually are in Returns of this kind?

Mr. PEASE

They certainly were not given, but the hon. Member, I presume, can add a few figures together.

Mr. KING

Is the right hon. Gentleman aware there are a great number of figures, and that all the House might not accept the accuracy of my totals?
