§ MR. J. P. FARRELLI beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether any changes are in contemplation in the method of appointing intermediate examiners; and whether, whilst retaining some who are not intermediate teachers as examiners, he will consider the advisability of providing that intermediate examiners will in future be selected from intermediate teachers?
§ MR. GERALD BALFOURNo changes are in contemplation in the method of appointing intermediate examiners. It is not considered desirable to appoint examiners from amongst teachers in intermediate schools.
