HC Deb 09 November 1911 vol 30 cc1824-5
Mr. KING

asked whether a new staff inspectorship of commercial education has been established; what the duties of the office are; and whether an appointment has yet been made to the office?

Mr. PEASE

The answer to the first part of the question is in the affirmative. The duties of the new staff inspector will be to inspect and report on commercial schools, and to advise the Board as regards the best methods of providing commercial instruction. No appointment has yet been made, but I have several names under consideration.

Mr. KING

Can the right hon. Gentleman say how many weeks or months will elapse?

Mr. PEASE

I am afraid I cannot answer that question without notice.
