§ 50. Sir N. GRATTAN-DOYLEasked the President of the Board of Education whether he will lay upon the Table of the House a selection of the agreed syllabuses of religious instruction used respectively in provided and non-provided schools?
§ Sir C. TREVELYANThe Board do not inspect or otherwise supervise religious instruction, and syllabuses of such instruction are not submitted to them. I regret, therefore, that I am not in a position to do as the hon. Member suggests. I should perhaps explain that the so-called agreed syllabuses are prepared for use in non-provided schools, and any use that may be made of them in non-provided schools is a matter entirely within the discretion of individual bodies of managers.
§ Sir N. GRATTAN-DOYLECannot the right hon. Gentleman indicate what measure of agreement, if any, has been arrived at? Can he give the House that information?
§ Sir C. TREVELYANNo, Sir.
