§ 66. Mr. F. ROBERTSasked the President of the Board of Education whether he is aware that the Hastings Committee submitted an interim scheme of education for approval in January last; that up to the present no decision has been given; whether he can explain the cause of the delay; a/nd whether he proposes to approve the scheme?
§ Mr. FISHERI understand that the Local Education Authority for Hastings have prepared an interim scheme under the Education Act of 1918, but that it has not yet received the local publicity contemplated by Section 4 (2) of the Act. It is, therefore, not yet ripe for submission for the approval of the Board.
