HC Deb 22 March 1906 vol 154 cc636-7
MR. SWIFT MACNEILL (Donegal, S.)

I beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury whether he will give the Return asked for in the Order Paper this day relating to the revenues and method of government and administration of Trinity College, Dublin.†

SIR H. CAMPBELL-BANNERMAN

I do not see any objection whatever in principle to accepting the hon. Gentleman's suggestion, but having regard to the fact that a Commission is shortly to be appointed to go into the whole question, and that all the facts and figures for which the hon. Gentleman asks will no doubt be brought out in the course of the inquiries, I think the authorities of Trinity College should not be put to the trouble of obtaining the material asked for and that there is really nothing to be gained by providing such a Return.
