HC Deb 24 March 1879 vol 244 cc1503-4
SIR HARCOURT JOHNSTONE

asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland, If it is settled that the Irish Church Commission shall expire on July 31, 1879, as fixed in the Irish Church Act; if it is intended that the Irish Board of Works will succeed it in the work now carried on under the Commission; and, whether he will furnish to Parliament a Return of the entire cost of the Church Commission from its beginning?

MR. J. LOWTHER

The Government is now engaged in communication on this subject; but no decision has as yet been arrived at with regard to it. With reference to the Return asked for, there can be no objection to furnish it at the proper time.
