§ MR. WOODALL (Hanley)asked the Vice President of the Committee of Council on Education, Whether, in accordance with his promise on a recent occasion, "My Lords" have considered the propriety of giving encouragement to instruction in "the use of tools for working in wood and iron," by constituting a new subject to be aided by Grants from the Department of Science and Art?
§ THE VICE PRESIDENT (Sir WILLIAM HART DYKE) (Kent, Dartford)I can assure the hon. Member that I am carrying out the promise to which he refers; but a variety of most important considerations are involved, and I am not in a position to make any decided announcement in reply to his Question.
§ MR. WOODALLasked, whether the right hon. Gentleman would be able to announce any decision before Parliament rose?
§ SIR WILLIAM HART DYKEI do not think so.
