HC Deb 15 April 1907 vol 172 cc618-9
MR. JOHN REDMOND (Waterford)

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland when the Report of the Commission appointed to inquire into the the working of the Board of Agriculture and Technical Instruction (Ireland) will be presented.

MR. BIRRELL

The Chairman informs me that a meeting of the Committee is to be held on this day week for the purpose of considering the draft report. The Chairman is unable to name a precise date for the submission of the Report, but he assures me that it will be presented at the earliest possible date.

MR. JOHN REDMOND

Will the Report be ready for the discussion which is to take place on the 24th of this month?

MR. BIRRELL

I doubt, very much that it will, but I am doing my best to expedite it. I do not much expect it before the end of the month.
