HC Deb 03 May 1889 vol 335 cc1090-1
MR. JUSTIN H. M'CARTHY (Newry)

asked the Vice-President of the Committee of Council on Education whether any report has been made by Mr. Cole as to his visits to lace-making schools in Ireland during April of this year; and whether, if he has, the report will be circulated; and, whether arrangements have been made by the Department with the Treasury by which such visits may be repeated in October, in accordance with the requests made for them?

*THE VICE-PRESIDENT OF THE COMMITTEE OF COUNCIL (SIR. HART DYKE,) Kent, Dartford

A report has been made, and, if desired, extracts could be printed for circulation, or it might be shown to the hon. Member or anyone interested in the matter who called at the Department; but there are certain points in it which are not intended for general publication. Whether Mr. Cole's visits can be repeated in October is a question at present under consideration with the Treasury.
