The Rev. LI. Williamsasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Education whether he is aware of the dissatisfaction caused by the decision to charge a fee of 10s. per member for training in the subject of first-aid; and whether he will reconsider this decision.
§ Sir E. BoyleMy noble Friend does not feel able to exempt first-aid classes from the operation of Circular 307. In view, however, of the value of this training, he will not object to the refunding of half the fee to any student who successfully completes the course and is, or then becomes, a member of a voluntary ambulance or nursing society.
