27. Sir J. D. REESasked the Prime Minister whether an application has been made on behalf of the existing administration of Lithuania for assistance for the establishment of an English public or grammar school in that province or republic; and, if so, whether he proposes to ask the British taxpayer to educate Lithuania as well as England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Serbia, and other countries?
Mr. HARMSWORTHThe assistance requested by the Lithuanian Government from His Majesty's Government is not financial. His Majesty's Government have merely been asked for their advice and assistance in obtaining teachers for the proposed British school in Lithuania. I need hardly say that His Majesty's Government have complied most willingly with this request, and are endeavouring to afford all possible facilities to the Lithuanian Government in the matter. The hon. Member may rest assured that no demands will be made on the British taxpayer in this connection.
Sir J. D. REESDoes the demand for the help of the British taxpayer for the education of Serbian youths in London still continue, and if so, with what justification?
§ Mr. SPEAKERThe hon. Member must give notice of that question.
