§ 74. Mr. BOLANDasked the Secretary to the Treasury whether he is now in a position to state if the Treasury has agreed to meet the claim put forward by the paper-promoted teachers in Ireland?
§ Mr. BALDWIN (Joint Financial Secretary to the Treasury)The answer is in the negative.
§ General McCALMONTIs the hon. Gentleman aware that this is one of the few questions in which the representatives from Ireland are entirely agreed, and cannot he give it some further consideration?
§ Mr. BALDWINMembers from Ireland, I think, are generally agreed on matters of this kind, but the matter has not yet been officially brought before the Treasury.
§ Mr. BOLANDDo I understand the matter has not been officially brought to the notice of the Treasury by the Irish Government or anyone else?
§ The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER (Mr. Bonar Law)I would like to say it has been brought to my notice, which is more or less official, and is being considered.
