HC Deb 16 February 1922 vol 150 cc1235-6W
Lord H. CAVENDISH - BENTINCK

asked the President of the Board of Education whether he intends to issue a Memorandum on the subject of the economies in educational administration suggested by the Geddes Report?

Mr. FISHER

I do not at present see any necessity for the issue of a Memorandum.

Mr. CAIRNS

asked the President of the Board of Education if he is aware of the many resolutions from various conferences against the cut for educational work affecting the children and the teaching staff; and, if so, will he take all possible steps to prevent such cuts?

Mr. FISHER

Yes, Sir. I receive many such resolutions, but as the suggestions made in the Report of the Committee on National Expenditure with regard to the expenditure of the Board of Education are receiving the Government's consideration, I am not yet in a position to make any statement on the subject.
