§ MR. SYDNEY BUXTON (Tower Hamlets, Poplar)asked the Vice Presi- 1675 dent of the Committee of Council on Education, Whether some arrangement could be made whereby the Second Report of the Royal Commission on Education, just issued, could be sold at a more reasonable price, and not at one which is practically prohibitory to most of those desirous of purchasing the volume?
§ THE SECRETARY TO THE TREASURY (Mr. JACKSON) (Leeds, N.)(who replied) said: I am afraid that I cannot agree to any reduction in the price fixed according to the established scale for the Report referred to. The price is based only on the cost of paper and printing, and does not include the cost of setting up the type.
