§ SIR EDWARD REED (Cardiff)I beg to ask the Vice President of the Committee of Council on Education whether certificates of competency as teachers of cookery, recognised by the Education Department, are still being given to persons insufficiently trained; and, if so, whether the Department will take steps to put an end to this evil?
§ THE VICE PRESIDENT OF THE COUNCIL (Mr. ACLAND,) York, W.R., RotherhamThe question whether a higher minimum period of training should be in future required as a condition of recognition has been for some time under the consideration of the Department, and I propose shortly to issue a circular to Training Schools of Cookery on the subject.
