HC Deb 27 June 1910 vol 18 cc809-10W
Mr. EVELYN CECIL

asked the President of the Board of Education whether he can set out the names of the schools to which the special Grants for the building of new public elementary schools, under 2 Edw. 7, c. 42, s. 10, have been paid; and what amounts have been given to each school?

Mr. RUNCIMAN

A statement showing the payments by the Board of Education in respect of Special Grants for the building of new public elementary schools up to 31st March, 1910 (Cd. 5155), was recently presented to Parliament, and I think that the hon. Member will find in that statement the information which he desires. These payments have not been made, as suggested, under Section 10 of the Education Act, 1902.

Mr. GOOCH

asked the President of the Board of Education when the Code will be laid upon the Table; and whether he can see his way to bring it out earlier in the year, so that local education authorities can have more time to make their arrangements before the summer recess?

Mr. RUNCIMAN

The Board have decided not to make any changes for the ensuing educational year in the Code of Regulations for Public Elementary Schools. An intimation to this effect was conveyed by a circular which was issued to local education authorities on 2nd May. I shall have much pleasure in sending the hon. Member a copy of the circular in question.
