§ MR. T. L. CORBETT (Down, N.)On behalf of the hon. Member for North Belfast, I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland if he is aware that the school fees charged and collected by the teachers in ordinary national schools in Ireland are allocated among the teachers in each school where collected, whereas the fees collected in model schools, and which are purely local contributions, have to be remitted to the Treasury; and will he take steps to place the teachers in both classes of schools on the same footing.
§ THE CHIEF SECRETARY FOE IRELAND (Mr. WALTER LONG,) Bristol, S.The facts are substantially as stated. The suggestion in the latter part of the Question is under consideration.
