§ Sir L. SCOTTasked the President of the Board of Education whether he has now had an opportunity of considering the Report of the Mental Deficiency Committee; whether he is aware that there is a desire amongst all persons interested in questions affecting mental deficiency, both voluntary societies and statutory bodies, to have an early opportunity of perusing the Report; and whether it will be possible to publish at least the portion of the Report dealing with the educational side of the Committee's work before the end of March?
§ Lord E. PERCYPerhaps I may refer my right hon. and learned Friend to the reply which I gave last Thursday to a question by the hon. Member for North Tottenham (Mr. R. Morrison). For the reasons I then gave, I am afraid that the Report cannot be ready for publication before Easter.
