§ Sir C. OMANasked the President of the Board of Education whether his attention has been called to the case of Mr. T. Brockbank, late a master in Stourbridge School, who has been deprived of his pension rights and prohibited from teaching in any State-aided school without having been allowed to contest the charges under which he was dismissed before the governing body of the school and the Board of Education; and whether he proposes to take any action in the matter?
§ Sir C. TREVELYANMy attention has been drawn to this case. Mr. Brockbank was fully informed of the charges against him and was given an opportunity for explanation. He availed himself of this opportunity by means of correspondence and of a personal interview at the Board's offices. The answer to the last part of the question is in the negative.
