HC Deb 06 April 1911 vol 23 cc2420-1
Mr. LARDNER

asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland if he will state how many agricultural schools have been established by the Department of Agriculture and Technical Instruction in Ireland since the year 1899, the names of these schools, the capital cost of each school, the amount subsequently spent in repair or extensions in each case, the number of students each year since the establishment of each school, and the amount expended annually since the establishment of each school?

Mr. BIRRELL

The Return promised in reply to a previous question by the hon. Member is in course of preparation by the Department of Agriculture, and on completion will be forwarded to him direct.

Mr. LARDNER

May I ask the right hon. Gentleman whether he is aware that I put this question a month ago, and was informed that the information would be furnished in a week?

Mr. BIRRELL

I am not surprised.
