HC Deb 11 June 1888 vol 326 cc1697-8
SIR GUYER HUNTER (Hackney, Central)

asked the Vice President of the Committee of Council on Education, When a reply to the deputation of the Association of Members of the Royal College of Surgeons, received by the Lord President of the Council on November 11, 1887, may be looked for?

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

Since the Lord President received the deputation on November 11 he has fully considered the statement submitted by them. All Petitions and statements on the subject were referred to a Committee of the Privy Council; and, as no legal questions were involved, it did not appear necessary to hear counsel. In consequence of the circumstances brought forward, the Supplemental Charter, as submitted by the College, has been considerably modified.
