HC Deb 17 February 1890 vol 341 cc443-4
MR. CALDWELL (Glasgow, St. Rollux)

I beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury when the Scotch Education Code for 1890 was laid upon the Table of the House in a completed condition, capable of being sent out to be printed; and whether the same was in the possession of the officials of the House only in a state of "dummy"?

MR. W. H. SMITH

A misconception has arisen as to the answer given by my right hon. and learned Friend the Lord Advocate on Tuesday to the hon. Member. The rule which governs the practice of the Department was strictly followed with regard to the Scotch Education Code for 1890. The title of the Code was laid on the Table of the House, and the Code itself in its complete and final form was sent for printing and distribution on the same day to the printers of the House by the Scotch Education Office. I am informed that the printers hope to be able to distribute the Code on Tuesday.
