§ Mr. RILEYasked the President of the Board of Education when the Departmental Committee appointed last year to consider the scope and work of public libraries, will present its Report; and if the Report will be made public?
§ Lord E. PERCYI am unable to say when the Report will be presented, but I understand that its preparation has reached an advanced stage. I hope that, when completed, it will be printed and published, but I cannot, of course, give any undertaking at this stage.
