HC Deb 30 January 1913 vol 47 c1522W
Mr. O'DONNELL

asked what powers the Committee appointed to inquire into the system of inspection under the National Education Board has to safeguard those who give evidence before it?

Mr. BIRRELL

The Committee has no statutory powers in the matter, but I hope that the chairman will be in a position to make a statement which will be satisfactory to the teachers at the first sitting of the Committee.
