§ Mr. KINGasked the President of the Board of Education how many elementary schools in the area of the Liverpool local education authority have been opened since the passing of the Education Act, 1891, in which fees have been authorised to be charged; and whether he will state the names of these schools, and give for each school the total amount of fees for the last financial year charged, the number of children paying fees, and the amount of fees paid over to the local authority in relief of rates?
§ Mr. J. A. PEASESince the passing of the Elementary Education Act, 1891, 141W twelve public elementary schools in the area of the Liverpool local education authority have been opened in which fees have been authorised to be charged. One of these schools became free in 1906. I append a table giving the names of the schools, the amount of fees charged for the last statistical year, and the number of children paying fees:—
