HC Deb 13 January 1913 vol 46 c1684
32. Mr. KING

asked the President of the Board of Education whether his attention has been given to the movement, supported by many eminent British architects, to establish in London a school of architectural design similar to the Atelier des Beaux Arts in Paris, and to the statement by Mr. E. L. Lutyens, a member of the Delhi Town Planning Committee, and other artists that such a school was essential to placing architecture in Great Britain on a sound theoretical basis; whether he has been approached with regard to this proposal for teaching architecture; and whether he proposes to support this scheme by a Grant or otherwise?

Mr. PEASE

I have seen a newspaper report giving an outline of the scheme referred to in the first part of the question. I have not been approached on the matter. I cannot say, therefore, whether the schools established under such a scheme would or would not be available for Grant.
