HC Deb 28 June 1880 vol 253 cc966-7
SIR PATRICK O'BRIEN

asked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, Whether there is any rule of the Education Office (Ireland) which makes all Reports of their Inspectors, upon which masters are removed from their schools, &c, considered confidential?

MR. W. E. FORSTER,

in reply, said, he was afraid he must tell his hon. Friend that they could not conduct the inspection satisfactorily if the Reports were not confidential.
