Captain CRAIGasked the Chief Secretary whether he could state the dates of any meetings of the Board of National Education during the year 1905 in the minutes whereof it was recorded that the case of Aughtercloney suspended national school (1223) was considered; and the terms of any Board's Order in reference to this school made at any meeting since the 1st January, 1905?
§ Mr. BIRRELLThe proceedings at the meetings of the Board of National Education are of a confidential character, and I am not therefore in a position to give the details which the hon. and gallant Member seeks. If there is any particular matter in connection with the school on which he wishes for information, I shall be happy to make further inquiries.
§ Mr. LONSDALEHas the right hon. Gentleman any control over the Board of National Education?
§ Mr. BIRRELLNone whatever.
