HC Deb 01 May 1911 vol 25 c171W
Mr. LUNDON

asked the Chief Secretary whether, in view of the fact that fees are now paid for teaching technical subjects, such as cookery and laundry, in Irish national schools, the Treasury will allocate a fee to the teaching of school gardening in view of the importance of the subject to the bulk of rural boys, and of the fact that the Commissioners of National Education consider it one to which a fee should be attached?

Mr. BIRRELL

I would refer the hon. Member to my reply to a similar question asked on 24th November last by the hon. Member for North Antrim.
