HC Deb 28 June 1917 vol 95 c554W
Mr. BYRNE

asked when the public official statement will be made as to the Treasury arrangements for the allocation of the increased grant for primary education in Ireland, which will include the promised increased salaries of national teachers, so as to set at rest the present state of expectancy of that body which militates just now against their application to their duties as teachers?

Mr. DUKE

My inquiries in this matter are proceeding as rapidly as possible, having regard to the nature of the subject matter and the pressure of my various duties.
