HC Deb 22 March 1932 vol 263 cc861-2
35. Mr. WEST RUSSELL

asked the President of the Board of Education the date on which the members of the departmental committee on private schools signed their report, and the date upon which it is proposed to publish the report?

The PRESIDENT of the BOARD of EDUCATION (Sir Donald Maclean)

The report to which the hon. Member refers was signed on 10th March and submitted to me a few days ago. I have given instructions that it shall be published forthwith and copies will be available as soon as the work of printing can be completed.

Mr. RUSSELL

Can the right hon. Gentleman say whether the forecast of that report which appears in the "Times" to-day, said to emanate from the Press Association, is correct?

Sir D. MACLEAN

It is not authorised in any way, and it is incorrect.

Forward to
