Upper Sixth - Who said this about what?

'Our object is to complete the present voluntary system, to fill up gaps, sparing the public money where it can be done without, procuring as much as we can the assistance of the parents, and welcoming ... the co-operation and aid of those benevolent men who desire to assist their neighbours' (These actual words were spoken in Parliament on 17 February 1870 but by whom about what?)

    I'm sure this is about the Education Act but i can only guess that Forster said it, since his name is synonymous with the Act
