HC Deb 18 June 1902 vol 109 c977
MR. FIELD

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether he can state if, in acknowledging the receipt of the resolution of the Council of the Queen's College, Belfast, in reference to the proposed development by the Department of Agriculture of the Royal College of Science, he has called the attention of the Council to the fact that in publicly commenting on a Government Department they had as civil servants acted irregularly; and, if not, will he state what notice, if any, he proposes to take of their action.

MR. WYNDHAM

I received copies of the resolutions in question. They are evidence of the very great and laudable interest manifested in the north of Ireland in respect to the provision of technical instruction and in favour of the establishment of a separate College of Science in Belfast. There is nothing in the language of the resolutions to which exception can properly be taken.
