§ 15. Mr. GINNELLasked the Chief Secretary for Ireland if he has any explanation to offer of the present policy of the Government in enforcing illiteracy in parts of Ireland by the refusal of schoolhouse accommodation and by the enforcement of unsuitable rules; and, if he disapproves of a policy producing such results, whether he will have it immediately reversed in a case in which the Catholic clerical manager has furnished the particulars?
§ Mr. DUKEThere is no such policy as the hon. Member suggests. If he has a particular grievance in mind, and it has not been already examined, I shall be happy to investigate it.
§ Mr. GINNELLHas the right hon. Gentleman not received from me a communication on this subject?
§ Mr. DUKEThe hon. Member does me the honour of writing to me occasionally. I cannot, however, say offhand whether one, or which one, of his communications referred to this matter. He did not specify—
§ Mr. GINNELLYes, I did. Mr. Speaker, will the right hon. Gentleman-say what became of my communication referring to this matter?
