§ MR. BUTCHER (Cambridge University)To ask the President of the Board of Education whether in view of the criticisms passed upon the proposed constitution of the new Technological-Institute at South Kensington, and of the bearing which the establishment of such an institute may have upon postgraduate training in science, he is prepared to arrange for the adequate representation of other universities besides London on the governing body.
(Answered by Mr. Birrell.) The question presents many difficulties in 267 view of the large number of universities now in existence in the United Kingdom, between whose claims for representation it would be difficult justly to differentiate. But the matter is having my careful consideration.
