HC Deb 07 August 1879 vol 249 c413
MR. MITCHELL HENRY

asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland, Whether, considering that the Rolls and Records of England and Scotland have been to a large extent already calendered, and many of them printed, the Government will resume the work on the Irish Public Records, which has been suspended for over ten years?

MR. J. LOWTHER

, in reply, said, that no provision had been made in the Estimates of the current year to cover the expenditure which had been incurred by the work; he would, however, before the preparation of the next Estimates, consult his Colleagues of the Treasury on the subject.
