HC Deb 03 December 1909 vol 13 cc605-6W
Mr. BOLAND

asked the President of the Board of Education whether his atten- tion has been called to the terms of the Petition presented on the 1st instant from the parents of the children atending the Catholic school at Low Valley, near Barnsley, Yorkshire; and whether he will now grant an inquiry in accordance with the terms of the Petition?

Mr. RUNCIMAN

I am unable to trace the Petition referred to. I am, however, at present considering a lengthy printed communication which reached me on the 23rd November from the correspondent of the school. This communication consists of 32 printed pages, and I have not yet had time to arrive at a conclusion as to its contents, which are being carefully considered.
