§ LORD R. CECILI beg to ask the President of the Board of Education whether it is proposed to complete the staff of the newly formed Welsh Department by transfers from the Board of Education, or whether the appointment of any other persons, not at present in the Civil Service, is contemplated; and, if so, for what reason a different course is to be pursued from that which was followed upon the formation of the Scottish Education Department.
§ THE PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD OF EDUCATION (Mr. MCKENNA, Monmouthshire, N.)The newly formed Welsh Department will be completed partly by transfers from the Board of Education and partly by the appointment of other persons not at present in the Civil Service. The Scottish Education Department offers no analogy to the Department now under consideration, since the former was removed by statute and placed under other political heads than those presiding over the Department from which it was detached.
§ LORD R. CECILWhat difference does the creation of a Scottish Education Department make in this question?
§ MR. McKENNAI have given the reasons.
