HC Deb 27 March 1917 vol 92 c209
60. Mr. GINNELL

asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland if he can say when, by whom, and with what Irish educational approval the new rule has been made depriving of the war bonus teachers who while undergoing a course of training, are paying, substitutes; whether he is aware that, owing to increased cost of outfit and living, enforcement of this rule would force some of the best teachers to leave the training colleges and abandon the teaching profession; what is the estimate of the amount required to give a separate war bonus to the substitutes without withdrawing theirs from the teachers; and whether, in all the circumstances, of economy on education in Ireland, he will obtain this from the Treasury?

Mr. DUKE

This question was answered last Tuesday. In case it has escaped the attention of the hon. Member I will send him a copy of it.
