HC Deb 14 August 1913 vol 56 cc2671-2W
Dr. ESMONDE

asked the Chief Secretary whether a copy or précis of the evidence tendered by Dr. Starkie at the Committee of Inquiry has been circulated in a pamphlet marked private and confidential, printed at the Stationery Office at the expense of the Government; and, if so, by whose authority?

Mr. BIRRELL

The Commissioners of National Education inform me that a state- ment of Dr. Starkie's direct evidence before the Committee of Inquiry was printed for the private information of the Commissioners, but the document, which was marked "Confidential," was not generally circulated.
