HC Deb 08 August 1890 vol 348 cc269-70
MR. CRILLY

I beg to ask the Financial Secretary to the Treasury, what further progress has been made towards proceeding with the Mayo lines since he made his statement on Irish Light Railways in Committee of Supply; and whether he will provide at least for the line to Belmullet, connecting Blackrod and Broadhaven Bays with the railway system, and without which no scheme of railways in Mayo would be complete?

MR. JACKSON

The negotiations with reference to the Mayo lines not being concluded I am not able to make any statement at present.

MR. CRILLY

I beg to ask the Financial Secretary to the Treasury why the Reports of the Deputy Commissioners, who held inquiries under "The Light Railways (Ireland) Act, 1889," were not printed with the Minutes of Evidence; whether he will lay these Reports upon the Table or have copies placed in the Library before the House rises; and whether, in any cases, there was a difference of opinion amongst the Deputy Commissioners; and, if so, will he also have the Minority Report published?

MR. JACKSON

The Reports of the Deputy Commissioners were confidential to the Board of Works, and it is not intended to print them.
