§ MR. ELLIS GRIFFITH (Anglesey)To ask the Secretary to the Board of Education whether, seeing that the Board of Education have given notice that they intend to amend the Anglesey intermediate scheme, he will consider the advisability of inserting provisions in the amended scheme to improve the financial position of the Beaumaris county school.
(Answered by Sir William Anson.) The amendment of the Anglesey scheme, of which notice has been given, is confined to the extension of the age limit to which scholars may remain in the school, and is urgently required to remove a difficulty which has arisen in connection with the award of county exhibitions on the result of the approaching school examinations. In the circumstances, the Board have decided not to endanger or delay the passing of the amendment by associating with it a question which would undoubtedly give rise to pro-longed discussion, and which, in the opinion of the Board, can only be solved by recourse to funds outside the operation of the county scheme.
