HC Deb 13 March 1907 vol 171 cc39-40
SIR WILLIAM ANSON (Oxford University)

I beg to ask the President of the Board of Education whether the Code of the Board of Education will be applicable to the newly-constituted Welsh Department of the Board; and, if so, whether questions which now arise as to the construction of the Code will be determined by the Permanent Secretary at Whitehall or the Permanent Secretary to the Welsh Department.

THE PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD OF EDUCATION (Mr. MCKENNA, Monmouthshire, N.)

The Code will continue to apply to Wales unless and until it is thought advisable to establish a separate Code of Regulations for Elementary Schools in Wales. Questions as to the construction of the Code, like all other questions arising out of the Board's administration, whether in England or Wales, will be determined by me or on my responsibility.
