§ SIR W. J. COLLINS (St. Pancras, W)I beg to ask the President of the Board of Education whether he is now in a position to state what the constitution of the governing body of the new Technological College in London will be, and what relation it will have to the Senate of the University of London; and whether, in the event of the 1043 incorporation of the college in the University being decided upon, any change will be made in the constitution and powers of the Senate of the University or of its councils and faculties.
§ MR. BIRRELLI am of opinion that it will not be in the public interest to make any statement just yet in regard to the matters named in the Question, seeing that the negotiations are now at an advanced stage in which I have every hope of arriving shortly at a satisfactory settlement; and I am sure the hon. Member will share my anxiety to avoid doing anything which might hamper this process.
