§ SIR HENRY FOWLER (Wolverhampton, E.)I beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury whether he will take care that the abstract containing the statistics of the Report of the Education Department, which has been in the printers' hands between two and three months, shall be circulated without further delay.
§ MR. A. J. BALFOUREvery effort has been made to expedite the presentation of the abstract. I am assured by the printers that we may have it on Friday.
§ SIR HENRY FOWLERI am not asking in any spirit of obstruction, but it is impossible to proceed further with the discussion of the Education Bill until we have these figures.
§ MR. A. J. BALFOURI hardly agree with the right hon. Gentleman in that, but I hope they will be presented in time.
