§ MR. BLAKEsaid, he rose to ask the Chief Secretary for Ireland, Whether the Government will afford an opportunity during the present Session for the Sea Coast Fisheries (Ireland) Bill, as amended by the Select Committee, to be proceeded with; and, if not, whether he will undertake to say that a Bill will be introduced by the Government next Session to give effect to the recommendations contained in the Report of the Select Committee?
LORD NAAS, in reply, said, he thought it quite impossible at this time of the Session to proceed with so important a measure as the Sea Coast Fisheries (Ireland) Bill; and he could not pledge the Government to introduce a Bill exactly in conformity 851 with the recommendations of the Committee; but he could assure his hon. Friend that the subject would be carefully considered, and, if possible, they would legislate on it next Session.
