Mr. DUNCANasked the Prime Minister whether he can now state the result of the consideration given to the Report of the Committee appointed to inquire into the position of modern languages in the educational system of the country; whether it has now been decided, in accordance with a recommendation in that Report, to set up a Committee to inquire into the potentialities of artificial languages and the desirability of encouraging the use of one; if so, can he give the name of the Committee; and, if not, can he say whether the matter is likely to be settled at an early date?
§ Mr. BONAR LAWI understand that the Report in question has been referred to the President of the Board of Education and the Secretary for Scotland, and is at present under consideration.
