§ MR. M'CARTHY DOWNINGasked the President of the Local Government Board, Whether he can explain the delay in making the Returns with regard to the deportation of the destitute poor from England and Scotland to Ireland, for which an order was obtained six months past; and, whether he can say when it may be laid upon the Table of the House?
§ MR. SCLATER-BOOTH, in reply, said, the Returns relating to the removal of destitute poor from Scotland to Ireland were only received on the 17th of July, but they were now in the printer's hands. The Returns for England were already in print before that day. The whole Return was now in proof, and would be submitted to Parliament next week.
