HC Deb 04 March 1890 vol 341 cc1777-8
MR. J. O'CONNOR

In the absence of the Chief Secretary, may I ask the Attorney General for Ireland whether, as the place for the Second Reading of the Irish National Teachers Bill has been unhappily lost, the Irish Government will give facilities for the Second Reading on a future day, or will do anything to ameliorate the condition of the teachers in redemption of the many promises which have been made to them by the present Chief Secretary and his predecessors?

MR. MADDEN

The first part of the question ought to be addressed to the leader of the House; and in regard to the second part, if the hon. Member addresses a question to the Chief Secretary it will be answered by him.

MR. STACK (Kerry, N.)

I beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury whether, having regard to the fact that it is the in tention of the Government to appropriate next Wednesday for the Debate on the Commission Report, he can promise that facilities will be given for the Second Reading of the Irish National Teachers Bill, fixed for Wednesday?

MR. W. H. SMITH

I am unable to promise facilities for the Second Reading of the Bill to which, the hon. Member refers.
