§ 56. Mr. COVEasked the President of the Board of Education whether the number of London County Council junior scholars admitted to Dulwich College has been reduced since the approval of the new scheme for that foundation by the Board of Education; if so, what is the extent of the reduction; and does he propose to make representations to the governors that they should retain free-place admissions at their former level?
§ Sir C. TREVELYANThe scheme took effect as from the 30th March, 1928. I am informed that in the school year 1927–28, the number of awards at Dulwich College of County Minor Scholarships (comprising Junior, Supplementary and Intermediate Scholarships) was 27, and in the school years 1928–29 and 1929–30 the numbers were 36 and 19, respectively. The total number of these awards held at the college remains considerably above 100, the number below which the Board have informed the governors that they hope it will not be allowed to fall, and therefore I see no occasion yet to make representations to the governors in the matter.
