§ SIR J. CLARKE JERVOISEsaid, he wished to ask the Vice President of the Committee of Council on Education, Whether his attention has been directed to the fact that the Report of the Medical Officer of the Privy Council, dated 31st March, 1867, was not distributed till the second week in September; and, whether the Report for 1868 will be accessible to Members of Parliament and the public at an early period of the present Session?
§ LORD ROBERT MONTAGUreplied, that the Report of the Medical Officer of the Privy Council must be laid on the table of the House on April 14 of every year; that was to say, fourteen days after it had been presented to the Privy Council. Last year the printing of the Appendix, which was large and contained many maps, was unavoidably delayed. This year, however, he hoped that it would be in the hands of Members immediately after the Easter Recess.
