§ 31. Mr. HARRISasked the President of the Board of Education whether up-to-date information is available as to the present condition of technical education and the relations between the authorities responsible for technical education and the leaders of industry and commerce in France, Germany, and other industrial countries; and, if so, whether he will take steps to have such information, as far as possible made accessible to the public?
§ Lord E. PERCYThe Board have some general information with regard to the present condition of technical education abroad and the co-operation of industry and commerce with the authorities concerned with it, but they have few detailed particulars as to the precise arrangements made in particular cases. I am endeavouring to obtain further information relating to the arrangements made in regard to particular branches of technical education, and when I obtain it I will consider the question of publication.
