§ 85. Sir W. JOYNSON-HICKSasked the President of the Board of Education whether his Department has received a. letter from the Chancellor of the Exchequer in reference to diminishing expenditure; and what decision he has arrived at regarding the guarantee of a proportion of the costs of evening continuation schools for next year?
Mr. LEWISThe answer to the first part of the question is in the affirmative. The purport of the second part of the question is not clear to me, but the possibility of saving in the expenditure upon evening continuation schools as upon all other branches of the educational service will be considered.
§ Mr. LAWSONIs it the policy of the Board of Education to build up evening continuation schools or to suppress those schools altogether in response to the requests of hon. Members?
§ Mr. SPEAKERThat does not arise. The hon. Member should put down a question.
