§ Lord NINIAN CRICHTON-STUARTasked the President of the Board of Education whether the report on the Dowlais Roman Catholic school case by Mr. Barker is the official report on this case?
§ Mr. TREVELYANThe answer is in the affirmative. I may add that Mr. Barker's inquiry and report did not relate to the efficiency of the school.
§ Lord NINIAN CRICHTON-STUARTalso asked where, when, and by whom the investigation into the Dowlais Roman Catholic school case will take place?
§ Mr. TREVELYANThe question which now remains to be investigated is a disciplinary one, namely, whether a certain teacher has or has not acted in such a way as to require the suspension or cancellation of her certificate by the Board. The investigation will take place as soon as possible after the preliminary examination of the registers and any other documentary evidence has been made and time has been given to the teacher for the preparation of her defence. The investigation will be held by an officer of the Board, and we will do our best to arrange the time and place to suit the convenience of the persons concerned.
