MR. O'BRIENasked the Under Secretary of State for India, Whether there is any objection to place the Royal University of Ireland on the same footing as the Dublin University, as regards the lectures of its Fellows as an educational qualification for the final examinations for the Civil Service of India?
§ MR. J. K. CROSSThe Royal University of Ireland does not stand precisely on the same footing as the Dublin University with regard to the particular matter referred to in this Question. But any application of the Royal University to be placed among the Institutions approved for the residence of probationers for the Indian Civil Service will be duly considered upon its merits. I may say, however, that no such application has been received.
