§ MR. SUMMERS (Huddersfield)I beg to ask the Vice President of the Committee of Council on Education if he can inform the House to what extent the Technical Instruction Act of last year has been put into operation in England and Ireland respectively, and to what extent "The Technical Schools (Scotland) Act, 1887,"has been availed of in Scotland?
§ * SIR W. HART DYKEI have no information as regards Scotland, but if the hon. Member will refer to pages 43 and 44 of the recent Report of the Science and Art Department, he will see that very gratifying progress is being made in bringing the Act of last Session into active operation.
