HC Deb 16 March 1869 vol 194 cc1465-6
MR. SINCLAIR AYTOUN

said, he wished to ask the Chief Secretary for Ireland, On what day the Returns, ordered on the 8th of this month, with respect to the College of Maynooth will be in the hands of Members?

MR. CHICHESTER FORTESCUE

I am sorry, Sir, I cannot positively state the date when the Return will be ready to be placed in the hands of Members. Although it is a plain and simple one, some confusion has arisen as to which Department is bound to furnish it, and it has been found necessary to send over to Dublin for it. I trust, however, that the Return may be supplied without waiting for any further correspondence on the subject. As to the information itself, I think the hon. Gentleman will find that it is already before the House in the Report of the Maynooth Commission.
