HC Deb 07 April 1913 vol 51 c806
98. Mr. O'DONNELL

asked the Chief Secretary whether, seeing that the education inquiry will fail to achieve the main object for which it was appointed if it refuses to admit the Press to its sittings, he will represent to the Committee the desirability of allowing the Press to attend; and will he say who is responsible for the decision to exclude the Press.

Mr. BIRRELL

I have nothing to add to my previous answers to questions on this subject. If the Committee at any time thought fit to alter their decision so far as to admit the Press to its sittings it would, I think, give general satisfaction.
