§ Mr. Cliffeasked the Minister of Education why he proposes in the draft Scheme recently published by him concerning Alleyn's College of God's Gift to reduce from two to one the number of estates governors appointed by the Metropolitan Borough of Finsbury, although the right to appoint two governors has existed since the original Act of 1857.
§ Sir D. EcclesThe draft Scheme gives effect to an application made by the estates governors themselves to enable representatives of all the schools benefiting from the endowment to sit on the Body of Estates Governors without increasing its size.
§ Mr. Cliffeasked the Minister of Education what reply he has made to the representations from Finsbury Borough Council on the proposed re-organisation of the governors of Alleyn's College.
§ Sir D. EcclesThe period allowed for the receipt of representations on the proposed re-organisation does not expire until the middle of April. I will reply to the Finsbury Borough Council after that time.
