§ Dr. M'DONALDasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if, in view of the fact that the 1d. rate levied for public libraries is inadequate to meet the growing educational demands of the public, he can see his way, pending further legislation on the subject, to extend Grants to public bodies in order to enable them to maintain these institutions in accordance with the needs of the people?
§ Dr. ADDISONI have been asked by my right hon. Friend to reply to the question, and would refer to the reply given to the hon. Member for Walthamstow on the 18th ultimo, of which I am sending the hon. Member a copy.
