§ Mr. Sydney Irvingasked the Minister of Education what special projects are being undertaken by his Department's new Research and Intelligence Branch.
§ Sir E. BoyleThe branch does not itself engage in research. Its main functions are to foster developments in educational research generally and to use my research fund to commission and support research in the universities and elsewhere. It is concerned also with the dissemination of intelligence on educational matters and provides, for internal use, services of co-ordination for policy on certain subjects affecting the department as a whole.
