§ Mr. M'KEANasked the Chief Secretary whether, having regard to the shrinkage in the funds available for intermediate education in Ireland due to recent legislation, he will press on the Government the necessity of putting on the Estimates for the present year such a sum as will not only make up the deficit, but will also put Ireland on a footing of equality with England, Scotland, and Wales as regards the grants for intermediate education?
§ Mr. BIRRELLI would refer the hon. Member to the statement of my right hon. Friend the Financial Secretary to the Treasury in the Debate on last Friday that the question of education in Ireland will come under the purview of the Committee proposed to be set up to consider the relations between Imperial and local taxation.
