HC Deb 07 May 1878 vol 239 cc1517-8
MR. CHARLES LEWIS

asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland, Whether the Government is prepared to introduce a Bill to make the same alterations in the Dog Tax in Ireland as are proposed in the rest of the United Kingdom?

MR. J. LOWTHER,

in reply, said, he must remind the hon. Member that the dog tax in Ireland was a source of local and not of Imperial Revenue; and, therefore, the most convenient form in which that question could be raised would be on the Grand Jury (Ireland) Bill.
