HC Deb 24 May 1897 vol 49 c1142
MR. J. DILLON (Mayo, E.)

I beg to ask the Vice President of the Committee of Council on Education whether it is proposed to allow Trish certificated teachers to teach in State-aided schools in Scotland on the same terms as they are now allowed to teach in English Schools?

*THE LORD ADVOCATE

The matter to which the Question of the hon. Member refers has not been brought under the consideration of the Scotch Education Department since I gave a reply on the, 5th March last, to the effect that no change has been made in regard to the recognition of Irish Certificates under the Scottish Code.

MR. DILLON

May I ask the right hon. Gentleman if, now the matter has been brought under the attention of the Scotch Education Department, they will follow the precedent set in England?

*THE LORD ADVOCATE

I cannot make that promise; but if a formal application be made to the Scotch Education Department the Committee of Council on Scotch Education will consider it.

Forward to
