HC Deb 18 March 1897 vol 47 c935
MR. M. FLAVIN (Kerry, N.)

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether he will grant the Return asked for in connection with the Intermediate Examinations (Ireland) 1896?

MR. GERALD BALFOUR

I am informed by the Commissioners of Intermediate Education that they will furnish the hon. Member with a Return containing the information indicated, so far as they are in a position to provide such information, on his making application to the office of the Commissioners in Dublin. Under these circumstances it is not considered necessary to grant the Return as a Parliamentary Paper.

MR. FLAVIN

Would the right hon. Gentleman not lay the Return on the Table of the House for general information?

MR. GERALD BALFOUR

I don't see that there is sufficient ground for going to that expense. The hon. Member, as I have said, can have the Return by applying for it to the Commissioners.
