MR. JACKSON (Leeds)

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland if he can inform the House the number of National schools in Ireland; the number of such schools in which school fees have been entirely abolished under "The Education (Ire- land Act, 1892"; and the number, if any, in which school fees have been partly abolished?

MR. J. MORLEY

I am informed by the Commissioners of National Education that the number of national Schools in Ireland to which Section 18 of the Education (Ireland) Act applies is 8,234; that of these, school fees have been entirely abolished in 7,163, and partially abolished in 1,071.
