HC Deb 06 August 1896 vol 43 cc1678-80
MR. J. P. FARRELL

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland (1) can he state what were the propositions submitted by the Commissioners of National Education in Ireland to the Government on the subject of providing increased remuneration by way of salary and results for work mistresses in Irish National schools; (2) Whether anything will be done in the coming year to encourage the greater employment and better training of these work mistresses in technical education on improved principles; and (3) whether the Board of Education can provide for an increased number of such qualified teachers in exclusively rural districts?

MR. GERALD BALFOUR

As regards the first paragraph, I have already informed the hon. Member in reply to a previous question which he addressed to me on the same subject, that I am not prepared to state what is the nature of the proposals referred to. The other inquiries have been referred to the Commissioners, who will consider them at their next meeting on the 11th inst.
