§ Resolved, "That a sum, not exceeding £64,000, be granted to His Majesty, to complete the sum necessary to defray the Charge which will come in course of payment during the year ending on the 31st 1115 day of March, 1916, for Grants under the Irish Universities Act, 1908." [NOTE.— £60,000 has been voted on account.]
§ Mr. KINGI would like to know whether Grants in connection with universities and colleges that are going to suffer by the War will also extend to Ireland, and whether any provision is to be made to the Irish colleges and universities, where I have no doubt the students have been as ready to come forward as elsewhere?
§ The CHIEF SECRETARY for IRELAND (Mr. Birrell)I am sorry to inform the hon. Member that in this matter Ireland does not benefit in the expenditure.
