HC Deb 07 September 1909 vol 10 cc1084-5
Lord ROBERT CECIL

asked what will be the constitution of the Committee of The Privy Council which will consider the Primary Education Bill for Jersey, and when will that consideration take place?

Mr. GLADSTONE

The Jersey Education Act stands referred to the Committee of Council for the affairs of Jersey and Guernsey, which consists of the whole of the Privy Council, or any three or more of them. I am not yet in a position to say what will be the special constitution of the Committee who will consider the Act, or when the consideration will take place. It is necessary to allow some time for the receipt of Petitions for and against the Act. Perhaps the Noble Lord will confer with me as regards the repetition of his question.
