§ MR. A. THOMAS (Glamorgan, F.)I beg to ask the Vice President, of the Committee of Council on Education what steps have been taken to remove the impression created by the recent Circulars from the Science and Art Department, "that all grants from that Department will be withheld in future from Higher Grade Advanced Elementary Schools"?
§ THE VICE PRESIDENT OF THE COUNCIL (Sir W. HAHT DYKE,) Kent, DartfordI have already stated that this matter is under consideration, with a view to a serious modification of the Circular in question; and, I may add, in order to remove the fears of which the hon. Member speaks, that in the result no impediment whatever will be placed upon Science Instruction in the schools he mentions.
