HC Deb 17 February 1914 vol 58 c766
46. Sir J. D. REES

asked the Prime Minister if he will state what progress has been made with the School of Oriental Languages?

The PRIME MINISTER

The charter for the school is now being considered by the Privy Council. The alterations in the buildings recommended in the first interim report of Lord Cromer's Committee are still under consideration.

Sir J. D. REES

Is the right hon. Gentleman aware that progress has been very much more rapid in the smaller City of Vladivostock, where they already have a well-equipped Oriental School?

The PRIME MINISTER

I am not acquainted with that.
