§ MR. RAWLINSON (Cambridge University)On behalf of the hon. Member for Dublin University, I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether, having regard to the interest of the Church of Ireland in the Divinity School of Trinity College, Dublin, and the number of graduates and students who belong to that church, he will consider the advisability and fairness of adding a member of that church to the Commission appointed to inquire into Trinity College, Dublin.
MR. BRYCEIt would be undesirable to make any addition to the Commission appointed to inquire into Trinity College, Dublin, as it is now sufficiently large, and the members, four of whom are (I believe) Episcopalian Protestant, are fully competent to deal with the interests mentioned in the Question. I may add that the hon. Member for the University of Cambridge, who is a member of the Commission, has special qualifications for enabling him duly to represent to his colleagues those interests.
§ MR. SWIFT MACNEILL (Donegal, S.)asked whether the terms of reference to the Commission would include an inquiry into the Divinity School.
MR. BRYCEThe hon. Member can ascertain that as well as I can by reading 971 the terms of reference which, have been published.
