§ Mr. CULLINANasked the Chief Secretary if he is now in a position to state his views on the dismissal of Mr. Mansfield by the Board of National Education; and whether, if so, he is prepared to grant a full inquiry into the case?
§ Mr. BIRRELLThe Commissioners of National Education, who had the case under their consideration at their meeting yesterday, are forwarding me a full statement on the subject by to-night's post, and pending its receipt I do not think it would be desirable to express any opinion on the subject.
