§ Sir H. BRITTAINasked the President of the Board of Education whether his Department will consider making the offer of a certain number of scholarships to British students which would enable those who qualified to visit certain sections of the British Empire for a period to be agreed upon?
§ Mr. TREVELYANState scholarships, provided by the Board, are at present tenable only in universities in England and Wales. Though I cannot commit myself to an extension of the scheme so as to include universities in the Dominions, I should, naturally, consider on their merits any representations to that effect which may be made to me. The Board, however, have power, under their Regulations for the Training of Teachers, to assist teachers to take courses of university study abroad; but their experience up to now does not suggest to them that there is any great demand for university courses in the Dominions.
