§ MR. BRIDGEMAN (Shropshire, Oswestry)I beg to ask the President of; the Board of Education whether he is aware that the last King's Scholarship Examination was held early in December last, and that the result has not yet been published; whether, in view of the fact that successful candidates have to go into college in September next, of the difficulty of finding places in college, and of the anxiety caused by the delay, he will take steps to expedite the publication of the result; and will he say whether there is any reason for the delay.
§ MR. BIRRELLI must refer the hon. Member to a reply I gave to a similar Question on March 13th last.† I may,
† See (4) Debates, cliii., 1106.985 however, add that I hope that it may be possible to publish the results of the examinations held in December last and at Easter somewhat earlier than I then anticipated.
