§ MR. KEOWNsaid, he wished to ask Mr. Solicitor General for Ireland, If it is the intention of the Government to bring in a Bill this Session to assimilate the Bankruptcy Law in Ireland to that at present in force in England?
§ THE SOLICITOR GENERAL FOR IRELAND (Mr. DOWSE)said, in reply, that there appeared to be considerable diversity of opinion in Ireland amongst commercial men as to the propriety of assimilating this Session the English and Irish Bankruptcy Laws, or of waiting until next Session to see how the English Act worked. He had also been informed that several commercial men intended to communicate their views to the Irish Government upon the subject, and until that were done it was obvious that it would be impossible to arrive at any decision on the subject of the hon. Member's Question.
