§ MR. J. P. FARRELLI beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether he is yet in a position to make any statement as to the intention of the Irish Government to give facilities for the training of a certain number of girls in each union who could afterwards be employed as qualified nurses on the basis of getting back half the salary; and, if so, whether this change could be included in a Provisional Order to be confirmed by Parliament.
§ MR. WYNDHAMI can make no promise beyond that already given. The matter will not be lost sight of, but nothing can be done on this year's Estimates.
§ MR. J. P. FARRELLMay I ask the right hon. Gentleman whether, in view of the urgency of this matter, he will take any steps to press this matter on this session, say before Whitsuntide?
§ MR. WYNDHAMI do not pledge myself to the opinion that the money should be voted, but at any rate I cannot approach the Chancellor of the Exchequer this year.
