HC Deb 22 May 1817 vol 36 cc822-3
Mr. Brougham

rose to move the revival of the committee which sat last session to inquire into the education of the lower orders in the metropolis. A great deal of evidence was taken before the former committee, and a great deal of that evidence was necessarily ex parte. It appeared to him that a considerable portion of it, therefore, was susceptible of correction and revision, and it was in order to afford an opportunity for obtaining that correction, on the part of the witnesses, by another investigation, that he now moved the revival of the committee.—Agreed to.
