§ Mr. ARMITAGEasked the President of the Board of Education whether he could now see his way to supply the information asked for in the form desired, seeing that he gave statistics in a similar form, but for a different date, in his replies to Question No. 53 of 17th December, 1908, and Question No. 7 of 31st March, 1909
§ Mr. RUNCIMANThe replies to the two Questions, which I understand to be referred to, were produced at the cost of labour out of all proportion to the value of the information they contain. I am afraid I cannot undertake to again place upon the staff of the Board of Education, who are fully occupied, the labour of producing statistical information upon matters which have no bearing, so far as I can see, on any pressing question of the day.
