HC Deb 26 June 1906 vol 159 cc757-8
MR. WALTER LONG

To ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether the proposed scheme, as recently outlined by him, for the payment of fees in respect of the teaching of Irish in national schools originated with the Board of National Education; or whether it was recommended in the first instance to the Board by the Irish Government.

(Answered by Mr. Bryce.) It would be contrary to the established practice to disclose any confidential communications which may have passed between the Irish Government and this or any other Board.
