HC Deb 28 February 1861 vol 161 c1087
MR. FENWICK

said, he would beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, Whether the attention of Her Majesty's Government has been turned to the Endowments in the hands of the University of Durham, and the educational results shown by a Return recently presented to this House, and whether it is intended to take any steps in consequence?

MR. CLIVE

said, that his right hon. Friend the Home Secretary had had his attention directed to the subject, and he (Mr. Clive) believed it was under consideration at present with a view to some steps being taken with regard to the matter. What those steps were he could not say; but he would request the hon. Member to repeat his Question to-morrow, when the Home Secretary would be in the House.
