HC Deb 07 July 1890 vol 346 c920
MR. BRYCE (Aberdeen)

I beg to ask the Lord Advocate whether it is the intention of the Scottish University Commissioners to publish within a short time the evidence which they have taken on the subject of tests in the Faculty of Divinity, and possible changes in the arrangements of that Faculty, having regard to the interest felt in the matter in Scotland, and to the desirability of eliciting expressions of public opinion on the subject before the Report which the Commissioners have been directed to make on this subject is prepared and submitted to Her Majesty?

*THE LORD ADVOCATE (Mr. J. P. B. ROBERTSON,) Bute

I have no doubt the Commissioners will present the evidence to Her Majesty along with the Report; but I am not aware of any authority enabling the Commissioners to issue the evidence before their Report is presented in terms of the statute.
