HC Deb 28 March 1887 vol 312 cc1615-6
MR. SYDNEY BUXTON (Tower Hamlets, Poplar)

asked the Vice President of the Committee of Council on Education, Whether, seeing that the students of the Exeter Training College still believe that those students who are suffering punishment for the outbreak which occurred have been punished unjustly, he will now cause an immediate inquiry to be made by Her Majesty's Inspector of Training Colleges into the circumstances of the outbreak; and, whether he will lay upon the Table of the House the detailed statement received by him from the Principal of the Training College?

THE VICE PRESIDENT (Sir WILLIAM HART-DYKE) (Kent, Dartford)

, in reply, said, that an Inspector would visit the College in the course of a month, and the strictest investigation would be made into the cause of the outbreak. Pending that inquiry, he could not make public the statement he had received from the Principal of the College; but the statement would be handed to the Inspector who would conduct the inquiry.
