§ SIR GEORGE CAMPBELLasked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, Whether, in addition to the promised inquiry from the English Local Government Board, regarding the demand for Irish migratory agricultural labourers, he will ask the Scotch Poor Law Board to make similar inquiry as to the cause of the decrease in number as appeared in 1882, and will suggest that they might follow up the statements regarding migratory Scotch Celts, embodied by their former President Sir J. Macneil in his Report of (885), and ascertain whether there is a probability of 1432 a continued demand for the services during half the year of the email farmers who return to their Irish crofts, the other half under a system which gives mutual satisfaction to the employers and the employed, such as Sir J. Macneil describes?
§ MR. TREVELYANSir, I have written to-day to the English Local Government Board, and I have no objection to write to the Board of Supervision.
