§ 52. Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHYasked the President of the Board of Education whether, in the case of the 74 schools in receipt of grants from public funds and maintaining officers training corps for the schoolboys, he interferes in cases where the existence of these officers training corps interferes with education or is considered undesirable for other reasons?
§ Sir C. TREVELYANNo such case has been brought to my attention.
§ Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHYIs the right hon. Baronet satisfied that he has the necessary powers to deal with such cases?
§ Sir C. TREVELYANI have not considered it, as no case has been brought to my attention.
§ Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHYIn that case, is not the right hon. Baronet himself responsible for the existence of the training corps?
§ Sir C. TREVELYANNo, I have nothing to do with the training corps.
§ Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHYIf the right hon. Gentleman has nothing to do with the training corps, how can he escape responsibility in view of the grants of public money to these schools?
