§ Mr. E. ALEXANDERasked the President of the Board of Education if he will explain why, in the Official List 111, published by his Department, of the more 1097W important technical schools recognised by the Board of Education, there is mention of only one such school in the administrative county of Essex; and why the Leyton Technical Institute, which for the. Session, 1922–23 had 782 and now has nearly 1,000 part-time students, is not included?
§ Lord E. PERCYMy hon. Friend no doubt refers to Part I of the list, as mention is made in Part III of the Chelmsford, Colchester and Leyton Schools of Art, and in Part IV of the Colchester, Leyton and Walthamstow Junior1098W Technical Schools. In this, the first, issue of the list, the Board have thought it best to include in Part I only those schools which were formerly recognised by them as eligible to receive an inclusive annual grant under Article 33 of the Regulations; but, as is indicated in the explanatory note, the list is to some extent provisional only, and in paragraph' 12 of that note the Board state that they will welcome suggestions for its improvement, and any representations in favour of the inclusion of particular schools will be carefully considered in connection with the next issue.
