§ MR. KENYON (Denbigh, &c.)I beg to ask the Vice President of the Committee of Council on Education if it is his intention to secure that in future appointments to the Government Inspectorate of Public Elementary Schools in Wales due consideration shall be given to the claims for promotion to such office possessed by the more experienced and highly qualified certificated teachers now at work in those schools; and whether it is his intention also to give similar consideration to the claims to promotion possessed by sub-Inspectors and by Inspectors' assistants now engaged in the work of inspection in the Public Elementary Schools in Wales?
§ THE VICE PRESIDENT OF THE COUNCIL (Mr. ACLAND,) York, W. R., RotherhamI am always willing to give full consideration to all the claims or applications of those, whether certificated teachers or others, who desire to be made Inspectors, subject to the general conditions of ago and the like, which are laid down by the Department. The answer to the second paragraph of the question is in the affirmative. I have already appointed two sub-Inspectors to be Inspectors.
