§ MR. MACARTNEY moved that copies of the Treasury Minute, dated the 26th day of October, 1855, appointing a Commission to inquire into the working of the National Board of Education in Ireland, with the view of improving its efficiency, and of the Report of said Commission made to the Lords Commissioners of Her Majesty's Treasury in the month of February last, be laid upon the table of the House previous to any Vote being taken on Supply for National Education in Ireland.
§ MR. WILSONsaid, there would be no objection to produce the Minute forth with; but as for the Report, it had been referred for observation to the Educational Board in Ireland. The Treasury had not yet received their remarks upon it, and until they did the Report could not fairly be laid on the table. At the same time he would state that it was not intended to 436 take any of the Estimates relating to it until after the Report had been laid on the table.
