asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer on what basis he calculates that Ireland will only be entitled to £74,000 in 1914-15, and to £132,000 in 1915-16, for insurance, tuberculosis, nursing, etc.?

As stated by my right hon. Friend the President of the Local Government Board on the 18th ultimo, the Irish share of the Grants for tuberculosis, nursing and pathological laboratories will be 9-100ths of the total Grants for the United Kingdom. The provisional figures as to the insurance Grants nave been reached by dividing the total Grant for the United Kingdom between Great Britain and Ireland in the ratio of the number of insured persons.

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will extend the rebate on the Petrol Tax now given to medical men to voluntary associations using motor-driven ambulance wagons?

I am proposing to deal with this matter in the Revenue Bill.

asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland the names and addresses of the persons who were reported for illegal practices by His Majesty's judges in the East Cork election petition; and if their names have been removed from the register of voters, as provided by the Corrupt and Illegal Practices Prevention Act, 1883, Sections 10, 11, and 38, Subsection (5)?

The names and addresses of the persons referred to will be found in the Election Judges' Report, which was duly communicated to the House, and I understand that the provisions of the Statute in question have been complied with.

asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland what sums of money during the eight years ended 31st March, 1914, for school-building purposes were granted by the Commissioners of National Education for Ireland to Presbyterian, Episcopalian, Methodist, Roman Catholic monastery, Roman Catholic convent, Roman Catholic lay, Roman Catholic clerical, and other applicants, respectively, distinguishing in each case into Grants that cover the entire cost of erection, Grants that cover two-thirds of the cost of erection, and Grants that lie between these two extremes, and also distinguishing them into Grants for building schools vested in the Commissioners, Grants for building schools not vested in the Commissioners but vested in trustees, and Grants for making additions to, or alterations in, schools not vested at all?

The Commissioners of National Education inform me that the preparation of this Return would involve a great amount of labour. The very small staff of the Building Department of the National Education Office is at present more than fully occupied in disposing of the current work, and the suspension of this work during the time required to prepare the Return would cause serious delay and inconvenience to the public. Somewhat similar information, though not of such a comprehensive character, has been supplied from time to time during the past five years, and in this respect I would refer the hon. and gallant Member to the replies to his question of 7th April, 1910, and to the questions of the hon. Member for South Belfast on 1st March, 1909, and the hon. Member for North Antrim on 6th May, 25th October, 25th November, 19th December, 1912, and 2nd April, 1913.

asked the President of the Board of Education in how many county areas in England and Wales whole-time or part-time school dentists have been appointed; in how many such areas the Board have sanctioned the appointing of a staff of dentists reasonably sufficient to afford facilities for dental treatment to children of the six-eight years' age group attending all public elementary schools in the area concerned; and if in any county areas public dental treatment is now available for all children attending public elementary schools, irrespective of age, who are reported as having defective teeth, and whose parents are willing for and consent to the treatment, and, if so, how many?

So far as the Board are aware, whole-time school dentists have been appointed in seven county areas, and part-time dentists in seven other county areas. The information in the Board's possession is not sufficient to enable a definite answer to be returned to the second and third parts of the question, but as a rule it is not found possible in county areas to deal completely with the children in the six-eight age group in the early stages of the operation of a scheme, still less with all the children in the public elementary schools. For further information I may refer the hon. Member to the chapter on dental disease and dental treatment in the annual Report for 1912 of the chief medical officer of the Board of Education.

asked the Secretary for Scotland whether the duty of seeing that the provisions of the Salmon Fishery Acts are complied with rests with the local police for the district, or with what other body?

The authorities responsible for enforcing the main provisions of the Salmon Fisheries (Scotland) Acts are the District Boards constituted under the Acts.
