§ 33. Mr. DILLONasked the Chief Secretary for Ireland when the Report of the Intermediate Education Board for Ireland under the Intermediate Education (Ireland) Act, 1914, for this year will be printed and circulated; whether any correspondence has passed between the Intermediate Board, the Treasury, and the 1599 Irish Government in reference to that Report; and, if so, whether he will lay such correspondence upon the Table of the House?
§ 36. Sir J. LONSDALEasked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland if the Intermediate Education Board for Ireland have made a Report to the Lord Lieutenant with respect to the distribution of the teachers' salaries grant for the year ended 31st March, 1916; and, if no Report has been received, whether, having regard to the fact that Irish secondary teachers consider that it is of the utmost importance that the details of the distribution of this grant should be published, he will call for a Report on the subject and have the same laid before Parliament.
§ Mr. DUKEThe Report was presented to both Houses of Parliament on the 9th instant. The printing and circulation is a matter for the Stationery Office. I expect it will not be unduly delayed. It is not proposed to lay the correspondence referred to upon the Table of the House.
§ Mr. DILLONWill the right hon. Gentleman take some opportunity of communicating the result of that correspondence, because it concerns a matter which interests the teachers of Ireland intensely?
§ Mr. DUKEI think the Report which is in the Stationery Office will deal with the subject which the hon. Member has in mind. If not, I will take care that everything that is necessary and proper for the teachers to know shall be included either in answer to a question or in a return.
