HC Deb 22 February 1847 vol 90 cc306-7
SIR DE LACY EVANS

asked the following question of the Secretary at War—If we may expect immediately on the Table of the House, to be printed, the report and accompanying documents of the Inspector General of Military Schools, relative to the military schools of France, Prussia, and other States, in connexion with their military institutions, it being important that Members should have the opportunity of considering the information thus obtained before the Army Estimates are discussed?

MR. FOX MAULE

answered, that at the close of the last Session he sent the Inspector General of Military Schools abroad, for the purpose of reporting any information he could collect on the subject, preparatory to the alteration and remodelling of the School of the Royal Military Asylum. On his return, he presented a report to the Government, in which he treated also of some matters not officially referred to him. It was not his (Mr. F. Maule's) intention, as he did not think it would be convenient to the public service, to lay the whole of that report before the House. At the same time, he had no objection, and he would immediately proceed to lay upon the Table such parts of the report as referred more particularly to a system of scholastic military education.
