§ Mrs. WINTRINGHAMasked the President of the Board of Education whether the full-time post of instructor in antique and life drawing and anatomy at the Royal College of Art is to be abolished; if so, what new arrangement is contemplated for the teaching of this subject; and what economy will be effected thereby?
§ Mr. FISHERThe answer to the first part of the question is in the affirmative. It is contemplated that the teaching of antique and life drawing and anatomy should be carried out by part-time instructors appointed, as are many other members of the staff, on a sessional basis. The replacement of a full-time pensionable 897W instructor by part-time unpensionable instructors will result in a saving to the Exchequer. It is not possible to state at present the exact amount of the saving.
