§ Sir JOHN ROLLESTONasked the President of the Board of Education whether, in regard to the Departmental Committee lately appointed to inquire into the cost of public buildings for schools, etc., he will consider the advisability of adding to that Committee the names of one member of the council of the British Architects' Institution, one member of the council of the Surveyors' Institution, and one member of the council of the Institution of Civil Engineers?

§ Mr. RUNCIMANI purposely restricted the membership of the Committee in order that it might be able to report quickly. It is not intended to be a Committee of experts who could authoritatively recommend particular materials or methods of construction for adoption by local education authorities. The practical question which lies behind their reference is whether the Board of Education can properly modify their building regulations and entertain or encourage proposals from the local education authorities who are primarily responsible for school buildings for the adoption of new materials and methods, and if that question is decided in the affirmative, what further arrangements are necessary to give effect to the decision.
