§ MR. ELLIS GRIFFITH (Anglesey)I beg to ask the President of the Board of Education whether his attention has been called to the inquiry which was held at Gwespyr, Flintshire, on Saturday, the 15th instant, with reference to the provision of school accommodation in that district; and whether it is the intention of the Board of Education to publish the shorthand notes of the evidence given at the inquiry.
THE PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD OF EDUCATION Mr. (Birrell, Bristol, N.)My attention did not need to be called to the inquiry referred to. I have been fully familiar with the case for a long time past, and I took special care as to the holding of an inquiry on Saturday last. I will see that the Report of the inquiry which will be furnished to the Board by the Commissioner in accordance with Section 73 of the Act of 1870 is laid on the Table of the House as soon as a judicial decision is arrived at. The evidence given before the Commissioner, especially as to the evictions, has been very fully reported in the local and other newspapers.
