HC Deb 10 June 1920 vol 130 c573
14. Mr. DONALD

asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland whether he will state if under the Public Libraries (Ireland) Bill the Local Government Board will have power to approve the amounts paid for free lectures and delegation expenses to library association meetings, seeing that most of the libraries in Ireland are provided with suitable lecture halls; and whether this was the intention of the Carnegie Trust when these libraries were being built, namely, to run free popular lectures during the winter evenings?

Mr. HENRY

The answer is in the negative.
