Captain CRAIGasked the Chief Secretary whether he has received detailed evidence that thirteen statements furnished to him by the secretaries to the Board of National Education during the Sessions of 1908 and 1909 were in essentials at variance with fact; and whether any measures have been taken to ensure in future the accuracy of official information furnished to him by the secretaries to the Board for use in reply to questions in this House?
§ Mr. BIRRELLI have received a statement to the effect mentioned in the question. The Commissioners of National Education have no reason to believe that any of the official information furnished from their office in relation to Parliamentary questions has been at variance with fact.
