§ Mr. CLYNESasked the President of the Board of Education whether he can further consider the representations made to him showing that money intended for the education of children of the poor classes has been diverted from its purpose and is being used for the advantage of wealthier people; and whether he can now advise the appointment of a Royal Commission to inquire into and report on the question of educational endowments?
§ Mr. RUNCIMANI am considering the representations made to me on these points, but I am not yet prepared to make a statement. The Report of the Departmental Committee will throw some light on one portion of the problem.
Mr. KINGasked the President of the Board of Education how long the Report of the Departmental Committee on Educational Endowments has been in print, and when it will be issued and available for the House?
§ Mr. RUNCIMANThe Report was received on the 31st March. I hope to publish it as a Parliamentary Paper very shortly.
