§ MR. CHARLES LEWISasked Mr. Solicitor General for Ireland, Whether the attention of the Government has been called to the unsatisfactory state of the Law of Bankruptcy in Ireland, and if any measure for the amendment of such Law may be expected to be introduced by the Government during the present Session?
§ THE SOLICITOR GENERAL FOR IRELAND (Mr. PLUNKET)The only communication, Sir, that the Government has received calling attention to the Law of Bankruptcy as at present administered in Ireland is one from the Northern Law Club, forwarded to us since my hon. Friend placed his Question on the Paper, and advising that clauses should be introduced into the Judicature (Ireland) Bill to facilitate the transaction of local Bankruptcy business at Belfast. I can assure my hon. Friend that those suggestions, together with any which he himself may make, will meet with a very careful consideration. It is not, however, the intention of the Government during the present Session to introduce a measure dealing separately with the Irish Bankruptcy Laws.
