§ MR. MASSIE (Wiltshire, Cricklade)To ask the President of the Board of Education whether, in arranging the governing body for the new Technological Institute at South Kensington, he will secure representative public control and management greater rather than less than that which at present exists in regard to some of the constituent colleges.
(Answered by Mr. Birrell.) The negotiations in regard to the establishment of the new Technological Institution and the work of the Royal College of Science and School of Mines have not yet reached a sufficiently definite stage for any announcement to be made with advantage as regards the nature of its management. The point referred to by the hon. Member will not be lost sight of.
