HC Deb 02 May 1907 vol 173 c1081
MR. MOORE

I beg to ask the Prime Minister if he will consider a practical knowledge of agriculture essential as a qualification in any candidate for the position of Vice-President of the Department of Agriculture in Ireland.

SIR H. CAMPBELL-BANNERMAN

The hon. Member may be assured that no one but a thoroughly qualified person will be selected for this post.

MR. JOHN ROCHE (Galway, E.)

Will the right hon. Gentleman carefully consider the claim of the Members of the Irish bar who are willing to take this or any other job?

[No Answer was returned.]
