HC Deb 28 February 1879 vol 243 c1974
MR. FRENCH

asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland, If he can inform the House when the Report of the Poor Law and Lunacy Commissioners (Ireland), presented on the 14th February, is likely to be in the hands of Members?

MR. J. LOWTHER

Sir, with regard to the Report of the Poor Law and Lunacy Commissioners, I find that it is a lengthy document, and though a copy of it is, I understand, available for reference, some days will elapse—perhaps a fortnight—before it can be generally circulated; but the utmost despatch will be observed in getting it ready.
