§ MR. SLOAN (Belfast, S.)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether he is aware that in 1905 a site was secured for a teachers' residence in connection with Drumtullagh national school, county Antrim, that the manager of the school applied to the Board of Works for a loan to erect the residence, that the application was accepted on the conditions that the vesting order be deposited with the Board, which is impossible until the estate from which the site has been granted is sold; and whether, in view of the fact that years may elapse before the estate will be sold, and that the Board of Works have accepted sureties for the loan, he will order it to be granted forthwith.
MR. BRYCEThis Question should be addressed to my hon. friend the Secretary to the Treasury, who answers for the Board of Works.
