HC Deb 04 April 1911 vol 23 cc1990-1
Mr. O'DONNELL

asked whether a proposal has been received from the National Education Board of Ireland for the establishing of higher grade schools in Ireland similar to those already established in England and Scotland; and whether the Treasury have yet come to a decision in the matter?

Mr. HOBHOUSE

The Commissioners of National Education have recommended the establishment of higher grade schools in Ireland, but it was not found possible to make provision on the Estimates, 1911–12, for this proposal.
