MR. GEORGE KENYON (Denbigh Boroughs)To ask the Vice-President of the Committee of Council on Education, in view of the fact that under Clause 3 of the Education Bill the Councils of non-county boroughs in Wales, which have over 10,000 inhabitants, will, if they adopt Part III., become the local authority for primary education absolutely, but will only have a concurrent authority with the county governing bodies as regards secondary 1341 and technical education, whether he will state what functions or powers under this arrangement will belong to the Town Councils; and whether the effect in these cases will be to create two rival authorities with undefined responsibilities.
(Answer.) The Bill continues the same relative positions between county and such non-county Borough Councils as are referred to in the Question that have subsisted under the Technical Instruction Acts since 1889.—(Board of Education.)
