Debate on Clause 7 and concurrent endowment in education
Mr. Forster defends Clause 7 emphasizing religious freedom for parents and continued secular instruction for all children. He argues against plain opposition to concurrent endowment, notes existing denominational funding under the Irish system, and presses amendments to uphold nonconformist and secular rights while preserving fairness. The House adjourned after committee votes on Civil Service excesses.
