HC Deb 28 April 1884 vol 287 cc748-9
MR. SEXTON

asked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, If he can now communicate the names of the gentlemen appointed to serve on the Queen's Colleges (Ireland) Inquiry Commission?

MR. TREVELYAN

The Government are still in correspondence with regard to the selection of the Commissioners. At a late hour on Thursday night, in answer to the hon. Member for Longford's (Mr. Justin M'Carthy's) Motion for certain Returns, I stated I did not expect to be able to name so early a day as to-day; and the hon. Member put off his Return for a week from that date. I hope to be able to state the names in a day or two.

In reply to a further Question from. Mr. SEXTON,

MR. TREVELYAN

was understood to say that one gentleman had been decided upon.

MR. SEXTON

Can he be named now?

MR. TREVELYAN

I do not see him in his place. I think I had better not name him.
