HC Deb 22 March 1917 vol 91 c2081W
Mr. CROOKS

asked the President of the Board of Education whether he is aware of the work done in organising the School of Oriental Studies; whether he is aware that a number of men have given long service and rendered invaluable assistance; and whether it is proposed to accord them any recognition?

Mr. FISHER

I am well aware that the establishment of the School of Oriental Studies entails a great deal of work and I understand that this has been fully recognised by those who are responsible for bringing the scheme into effect.
