HC Deb 15 November 1917 vol 99 cc548-9
30. Mr. KING

asked the President of the Board of Education whether he is aware that it is over twelve months since the Report of the Inquiry into the Leeds Training College was received; whether he can now announce that the Leeds education authority has agreed to a scheme of reorganisation of the college; and, failing any agreement between the authority and the Board of Education on this reorganisation, whether he will publish the Report of the recent Inquiry into the affairs of the college?

The PRESIDENT of the BOARD of EDUCATION (Mr. Herbert Fisher)

A revised scheme for the management of the college has been agreed between the Board and the local education authority. I will lay a copy of the Memorandum on the Table.

Mr. KING

Does the scheme provide for the representation of authorities and interests other than the Leeds local authority—is a wide representation given to the governing body?

Mr. FISHER

I think so.
