HC Deb 09 June 1884 vol 288 c1776
SIR LYON PLAYFAIR

asked the Secretary to the Treasury, Whether it is the intention of the Government to send the Report on Technical Education to the Free Libraries and Public Libraries throughout the Kingdom?

MR. COURTNEY

The suggestion of my right hon. Friend is new to me. Three hundred copies of the Report have been placed at the disposal of the Royal Commission for distribution, besides 200 each of the Reports by Mr. Jenkins and Mr. Mather. I should think this number would be sufficient to meet all the cases in which free gifts would be proper. I may add that copies can be bought at a small price, and a general distribution seems uncalled for and inexpedient.
