HC Deb 26 February 1912 vol 34 cc1128-9W
Mr. NEWMAN

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he is aware of the dissatisfaction caused by the nature of the appointments that have recently been made by the Irish Insurance Commissioners in Cork and district; whether his attention has been called to the allegation that one instructor owes his position solely to the fact that he was the only Protestant who, at a recent Parliamentary election in the borough of Cork, signed a nomination paper on behalf of the candidates who stood as nominees of the United Irish League; and whether he is prepared to give a list of all appointments made under the Insurance Act in Munster to date?

Mr. LLOYD GEORGE

I am not aware of any dissatisfaction caused by the nature of the appointments made by the Irish Insurance Commissioners in Cork and district. I have no knowledge of the fact alleged in the second part of the question, but whether true or not, it had no connection with his appointment. Full list of the names of the lecturers temporarily appointed by the Irish Commissioners will appear in the White Paper.
