Major HUNT

asked the President of the Board of Education whether there are still in this country schools or colleges owned and managed by people of German nationality or with teachers of German origin; if so, whether these schools are helped by German secret service money; and, if he proposes to do anything in the matter?

The Board are not aware that any school or college within their jurisdiction is owned and managed by persons of German nationality. As regards teachers in such institutions it is not possible for the Board to say how many of them are of German origin. The Board have no knowledge of the manner in which German secret service money is spent, and are not aware that occasion has arisen for action on their part
