§ MR. FIELDTo ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether he can state what proceedings he-intends to take in order to compel the Intermediate Board of Education in Ireland to obey the resolution unanimously passed by the House of Commons; and whether he intends to allow a nominated board which defies Parliament to remain in its present unconstitutional non-elected irresponsible position.
209 (Answered by Mr. Bryce.) I cannot at present state what action the Irish Government will take in this matter, but I do not understand from the letter recently received from the Board that they now entertain the intention attributed to them in the Question. The reply from the Intermediate Board to a letter addressed to them some days ago is at present awaited by the Irish Government.
