§ MR. NANNETTI (Dublin, College Green)To ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether he will state the reasons that influenced the Agricultural Department in representing that no ground existed for granting the independent inquiry publicly called for into the method of promotion 690 of the Department's officials, having regard to the treatment accorded to a section of the clerks in the Veterinary Branch.
(Answered by Mr. Walter Long.) I have already informed the hon. Member that I do not consider that there is any ground whatever for an inquiry.
