§ 31. Mr. TAYLORasked the President of the Board of Education if he can state in detail what he regards as non-essentials in the present school curriculum; and the total saving in the national expendi- 562 ture on education that would be possible if the curriculum were revised in accordance with his views?
Duchess of ATHOLLMy right hon. Friend is afraid that these are not matters with which he can undertake to deal within the limits of an answer to a question.
§ Mr. TAYLORWould it not be possible to give local authorities some idea of what the President of the Board of Education considers non-essentials, in order that in framing their schemes they may know what to do?
Duchess of ATHOLLIf my right hon. Friend has any reason to think that local education authorities are placed in any difficulties, that there is anything that they do not understand, he will be happy to enlighten them.
