HC Deb 02 June 1913 vol 53 cc592-3
60. Mr. KING

asked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury whether he can explain the delay in printing and circulating the Return on Education (England and Wales) Statistics, laid upon the Table of the House on 6th May and not yet circulated?

The PRESIDENT of the BOARD of EDUCATION (Mr. J. A. Pease)

The Return was published on Saturday. The printing and necessary checking of the proof of a Return of this kind takes some time.

Mr. KING

Is the right hon. Gentleman aware that twenty-five days were occupied in printing and correcting this very short Return?
