§ MR. POWELLsaid, he wished to ask the Vice President of the Committee of Council on Education, Whether he is prepared to explain the reason of the delay in the publication of the Report of the Medical Officer of the Privy Council, and to ask when the said Report will be laid upon the table of the House?
§ LORD ROBERT MONTAGUsaid, in reply, that the Report referred to by the hon. Gentleman was put into the hands of the printer at the beginning of April; it consisted of upwards of 600 pages, and contained a number of geological and other maps, the preparation of which had caused the delay. He expected, however, that the Report would be in the Library on Saturday next, and would be delivered to hon. Members on the following Monday or Tuesday.
