HC Deb 10 November 1884 vol 293 cc1362-3
SIR HERVEY BRUCE

asked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, Whether he will consider the propriety of supplying gratis to the National Schools in Ireland the books and maps requisite for educational purposes?

MR. CAMPBELL-BANNERMAN

I cannot undertake to make such a proposal to the Treasury. As I believe has been pointed out to the hon. Baronet on a former occasion, it would involve an increase of about £30,000 in the Parliamentary grant.
