HC Deb 02 May 1923 vol 163 c1552

Order read for resuming Adjourned Debate on Question [18th April]. That the present system of imposing upon the Catholics of England the burden of building their own schools is contrary to religious and economic equality, and that the system of complete educational equality existing in Scotland should, with the necessary changes, be adopted in England."—[Mr. T. P. O'Connor.]

Question again proposed.

Mr. T. P. O'CONNOR

I would appeal to hon. Members not to object to this Motion. There was a discussion upon it on the last occasion, in which it was made evident that hon. Members of all parties are desirous of meeting the grievance to which it refers.

Sir SYDNEY RUSSELL-WELLS

I would join in the appeal to hon. Members to allow this Motion to go through without objection.

Resolved, That the present system of imposing upon the Catholics of England the burden of building their own schools is contrary to religious and economic equality, and that the system of complete educational equality existing in Scotland should, with the necessary changes, be adopted in England.
