HC Deb 27 January 1902 vol 101 cc971-2
MR. FIELD (Dublin, St. Patrick)

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, whether he can state, in connection with the vacant appointment in the Royal College of Science, Dublin, what is the difference between Agricultural Zoology and Zoology; and whether the vacant chair has been advertised in the Press.

MR. WYNDHAM

Agricultural Zoology means Zoology treated specially with reference to its application to Agriculture. The vacant chair has not been advertised in the Press.

MR. FIELD

Will the right hon. Gentleman kindly answer as to the advertisement?

MR. WYNDHAM

I said the vacancy had not been advertised.

MR. FIELD

Why not? Will it be?

MR. WYNDHAM

I understand the Department are considering whether or not they shall advertise it.
