asked the President of the Board of Education whether he has received a copy of a resolution stating that, in order that the fullest information may be available when questions arise in connection with the minutes of the education committee submitted to a town council for confirmation, it is desirable, in cases where councils have not delegated any of their powers to education committees under the Education Act of 1902, that the co-opted members of such education committees shall not only have the right to attend such meetings, but be able to take part in any discussions which might arise in connection with such minutes and to vote thereon in all respects as if they were members of the local education authority; and, if so, what action he proposes to take in relation thereto?

I have received a copy of such a resolution. The suggestion raises a general question of great importance, and I am not prepared to express an opinion on it at the present time. I may add that legislation would be required to give effect to the proposal.
