§ MR. T. W. RUSSELLI beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland how many seats are now vacant at the National Board of Education in Ireland; and whether any steps have been taken to fill the vacancies?
MR. J. MORLEYsaid, that there were at the present time three vacancies in the National Board of Education in Ireland. As the hon. Member was aware, it was very important that the full strength of the Board should be maintained, and he could therefore assure him that no time would be lost in filling up the vacancies on the Board.
