§ MR. LANYONsaid, he rose to ask the Chief Secretary for Ireland, If the Commissioners of National Education (Ireland) lately adopted a Resolution to the effect that in future no member of the Board would be allowed to enter his reasons of protest against any Motion adopted by a majority of the Commissioners; and, if so, will he have any objection to produce a Copy of the Resolution in Question?
LORD NAASsaid, the best answer he could give to the Question of the hon. Member was to give the contents of a letter he had received from the Secretary of the Edu- 721 cation Board in Ireland, who said there was no resolution now on the minutes of the Board to the effect that in future no member should be allowed to enter his reasons of protest against any motion adopted by the majority, and that the practice was not to record on the minutes the reasons assigned by any member for assenting to or dissenting from any motion adopted by the majority.
