Mr. HAMMERSLEY

asked the President of the Board of Education whether he has received a resolution from the Stockport Education Committee urging upon the Board of Education that it is advisable, and indeed a moral obligation, that assistance should be given out of public funds to the non-provided as well as to the provided schools in the carrying out of such alterations as are approved by the local education authority; and what action he proposes to take in the matter?
