Parliamentary Secretary to the Board of Education
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Parliamentary Secretary to the Board of Education was a junior ministerial office in the United Kingdom Government.
In 1899 the Board of Education Act abolished the Committee of the Privy Council which had been responsible for education matters and instituted a new Board from April 1 1900. The Board was headed by a President. From the appointment of the Marquess of Londonderry as President in 1902 the post of Parliamentary Secretary to the Board was established. The Board was in turn replaced by the Ministry of Education and the post of Parliamentary Secretary to the Board was accordingly replaced by the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Education.
