§ 32. Mr. KINGasked 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. PEASEI 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.
