§ SIR JOHN PAKINGTONsaid, he fished to ask the noble Viscount at the head of the Government a question as to the course of business which had been previously announced with respect to the Re-revised Code of Education. The right hon. Gentleman the Vice President of the Committee of Council of Education had promised to lay the Report on that subject on the table before the holidays, They were now about to adjourn for the holidays, and he desired to know whether it was probable that that Report would be laid on the table that night. The further progress of the Committee stood for the 5th of May, which was, practically only one week after the, re-assembling of the House. As very little, time would, intervene to enable hon. Members to consider that Report, he submitted that it would be desirable to postpone the, progress of the measure for some time longer.
§ VISCOUNT PALMERSTONsaid, the Report to which the right hon. Baronet alluded, would be laid on the table in the course of that evening, and would be delivered to hon. Members to-morrow. With regard to their further proceedings in the matter, there would be ample time, on the reassembling of Parliament after the Easter recess, to make other arrangements if they should be found necessary.
