Debate over church schools fees and possible adjournment
The board weighs whether to fund denominational school fees under section 25 and argues over the principle of compulsion versus parental choice. Critics press for keeping the act intact with “shall” payments, while others seek to omit bye laws and allow time to decide, amid divisions among Nonconformists, Church, and Catholics. The discussion adjourned with calls to modify wording to “may” and resume.
