HC Deb 07 February 1849 vol 102 c374
MR. MEAGHER

wished to know from the right hon. Baronet the Secretary for Ireland, whether there was any probability of Bills being brought forward for the registration of births, deaths, and marriages in Ireland, and for sanitary regulation?

SIR W. SOMERVILLE

had to state in answer, that a Bill for the registration of births, deaths, and marriages in Ireland was under consideration. He could not undertake to say, that it would be in his power to bring it forward this Session, but he hoped it might be. With respect to a Health of Towns Bill, he had a Bill prepared which he hoped it might be in his power to submit to the House shortly.
