§ 24. Mr. DAYasked the President of the Board of Education the number of fulltime students at the Royal College of Art during the last completed year, and the number who, having completed their course of training, are known to have since obtained industrial employment as designers or art workers.
§ The PRESIDENT of the BOARD of EDUCATION (Mr. Oliver Stanley)The number of full-time students at the Royal College of Art in the session 1934–35 was 376. Of the 101 students who left the college at the end of the session having obtained their diploma, 21 are known to have taken up work as designers or art workers for industry or commerce, either in full-time appointments or as free lances. In addition, a number of students who took up part-time posts as teachers are believed also to be practising as designers.
§ Mr. STANLEYI am afraid that I could not hear the hon. Member's supplementary question. Perhaps he will give me notice of it.
§ Mr. DAYWill the Minister say whether the college is being carried on upon the lines for which it was originally founded?
