§ MR. HUGH LAW (Donegal, W.)To ask the Secretary of State for India whether, in view of the injury which will be inflicted upon recruiting for the Indian educational service, by the proposed appointment, even though temporary, of a gentleman not belonging to that service to the directorship of public education in Bengal, he can now see his way to disallow such appointment.
(Answered by Mr. Secretary Morley.) I have, I think, already explained the state of this case. I can only repeat that I have no reason to suppose that the temporary and exceptional appoint- 1076 ment in question has had, or will have, any injurious effect upon recruiting, and I do not propose to disallow it.
