HC Deb 12 May 1887 vol 314 cc1675-6
MR. J. G. TALBOT (Oxford University)

asked the Vice President of the Committee of Council on Education, Whether he could arrange that the Instructions to Inspectors should be issued earlier in the year, and nearer to the time when the Education Code is published, so as to avoid the anomaly, now existing, of having the Code of one year and the Instructions of another year in circulation at the same time?

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

The form which the Instructions to Inspectors, if they undergo any change, finally take, depends, to some extent, upon the results of the Easter Conference between the Chief Inspectors. It is the practice of the Department to issue the Instructions as soon as possible after the conclusion of the Conference.
