§ MR. DAVID THOMASI beg to ask the Vice President of the Committee of Council on Education if he is aware that much dissatisfaction has been caused by the refusal of the authorities of certain Training Colleges to allow candidates for admission to be examined at centres, such as Merthyr Tydvil, Cardiff, and Swansea, which have been fixed for the examinations for Queen's Scholarships; and whether, having regard to the fact that these Training Colleges are supported mainly by Government Grants, he will impress upon the Committees of such Colleges the desirability of allowing candidates to sit for examination at any centre fixed by the Department?
§ SIR W. HART DYKEI believe some complaint has been made, but it seems to me reasonable that the Training College Authorities, upon whom the responsibility rests of selecting the successful candidates for admission, should 481 have an opportunity of seeing them. The centres to which the hon. Member refers are primarily intended for those who do not propose to enter college.
