§ Sir C. TREVELYANThere are contingents of the Officers Training Corps in 74 grant-aided secondary schools in England and Wales.
§ Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHYHas the right hon. Gentleman power to intervene if he feels that the standard of education is interfered with?
§ Mr. SPEAKERThat question does not arise.
§ Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHYThe President of the Board of Education is responsible for the expenditure of public money, and I thought he would have power to intervene.
§ Mr. SPEAKERI said that that point does not arise out of this question. The hon. and gallant Member only asks for the number.
