§ MR. HOLTasked Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer, Whether he can now communicate to the House the names of the persons whom the Government will advise the Queen to place on the Senate of the proposed new University in Ireland?
§ THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUERSir, I am sorry to say that it is not in my power to do so. I think my hon. Friend will see that, before approaching any person to ask him to serve upon the Senate, it is necessary that we should know the precise form in which the House may approve of the Bill, and until that has taken place communications could not be opened. When they are opened I fear they will—as such communications always do—take some further time.
