§ MR. J. HERBERT LEWIS (Flint District)I beg to ask the Vice President of the Committee of Council on Education, what is the present position of the scheme for the establishment of a Central Welsh Board of Intermediate Education?
§ THE VICE PRESIDENT OF THE COUNCIL (Mr. A. H. D. ACLAND,) York, W. R., RotherhamWhen this scheme was submitted to the Education Department by the Charity Commissioners last year, it was thought best, to defer its consideration until the various county schemes had all become law, as, otherwise, difficulties might have arisen with regard to the constitution of the Central hoard. These county schemes have now all become law, with the exception of that for the County of Glamorgan, against which an Appeal has been made to the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council. In view of the fact that several County Councils are already actively prosecuting work under the county schemes, and of the further delay which must occur before the reference to the Judicial Committee in the Glamorganshire case can be disposed of, I propose to reconsider the question whether it is desirable to delay the progress of the Central Scheme any longer.
