HC Deb 17 July 1896 vol 43 cc32-3
MR. ENGLEDOW

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, if he will explain why it is that the average salary paid to national school teachers in Ireland is £90 per annum, whereas teachers in the same position in England receive on an average about £121 per annum; and, whether he will consider the necessity of having the pay of the teachers in England and Ireland calculated on the same basis?

MR. GERALD BALFOUR

All the information I have on the subject will be found in my reply to a similar question addressed to me on the 12th March last by the hon. Member for North Monaghan.
