HC Deb 24 March 1908 vol 186 cc1200-1
MR. REES

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for India whether it is intended to establish industrial schools for low-grade technical training, such as would provide a suitable field of recruitment whence to draw students capable of benefiting from the courses provided by the expensive machinery and costly equipment of the Thomasson College at Rurki, which is now practically fulfilling the functions of a low-grade technical school.

MR. MORLEY

I have no information as to the intentions of the Government of India. I have seen nothing to suggest that the local Government are not satisfied that the college is being used to the best advantage in view of existing conditions.
