§ MR. A. J. BALFOURI have to ask the right hon. Gentleman a question of some urgency. I understand it is impossible to carry out the provisions of the Irish Education Act as regards compulsion without amending that Act in some small particulars. The Act is designed to come into operation on January 1, and unless a technically amending Bill passes before that date, I am informed that it cannot come into operation on January 1. The Government will see that the measure is, unlike some other measures, of urgent and pressing importance. Will the right hon. Gentleman inform the House what steps the Government mean to take?
§ MR. THOMAS HEALY (Wexford, N.)May I ask whether it is in Order for the right hon. Gentleman to anticipate a question which stands on the Paper for to-morrow in the name of the late Chief Secretary for Ireland?
§ MR. W. E. GLADSTONEI understand that an answer can be given tomorrow.
