§ MR. REDDY (King's County, Birr)On behalf of the hon. Member for South Galway I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether teachers whose examinations were held before last March were paid salaries for the year ended 31st March, 1901, under the old system, which included class salary, results fees, capitation grant, and balance of residual grant, calculated at the end 274 of each year, or whether they were paid under the new system of consolidated incomes; whether, if paid under the former, such teachers are now to be deprived of the balance of residual grant which was paid in former years, and to which they are entitled; and whether the National Education Commissioners or the Treasury are responsible for this scale of payment.
§ MR. WYNDHAMThe teachers in question were paid salaries on the old system up to the month of examination, and under the new system for the remainder of the year. The reply to the second paragraph is in the negative; the grant known as the residual grant is included in the incomes of teachers under the new system.
