HC Deb 27 July 1893 vol 15 c657
MR. STANLEY LEIGHTON (Shropshire, Oswestry)

I beg to ask the Vice President of the Committee of Council on Education whether the Report of the Committee of Council on Education will be in the hands of Members before the Education Estimates are taken?

MR. ACLAND

I may remind my hon. Friend that the statistics for the year have been published some weeks, and the Report is only a running comment on them. It is now in the hands of the printers, and will be circulated to-morrow morning.

MR. STANLEY LEIGHTON

Did the right hon. Gentleman present the Report to the House in dummy, and does not Sir Erskiue May lay it down that this practice is irregular?

MR. ACLAND

I have simply followed the usual practice in these matters.
