HC Deb 31 May 1883 vol 279 cc1310-1
MR. RICHARD

, who complained that his Question had been altered, asked the Vice President of the Council, Whether, in view of the practical failure of the Training College at Carnarvon in accomplishing the object for which it was established, that of training teachers for schools in Wales, the largo grant of public money now made will be continued for its support?

MR. MUNDELLA

Sir, we are in communication with the Governing Body of Carnarvon Training College, with the view to such changes in that institution as will render it both efficient and acceptable as a place for the training of Welsh teachers. We shall await the deliberations of the Governing Body before taking any further steps, and we trust that they will concur in our views.

MR. H. H. FOWLER

asked whether the right hon. Gentleman intended this year to propose a Vote for the College?

MR. MUNDELLA

Yes, Sir, of course; because the Vote is for work already done.
