HC Deb 24 June 1880 vol 253 cc714-5
LORD RANDOLPH CHURCHILL

asked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, Whether any of the Poor Law Unions set forth in Schedule (D) of the Compensation for Disturbance (Ireland) Bill, were not scheduled as distressed Unions by the Local Government Board prior to the 29th of February last; and, if so, whether he will name them; and, whether such Poor Law Unions will be entitled to all the other exceptional privileges accorded by the Legislature and Local Government Board to distressed Unions?

MR. W. E. FORSTER

All the Poor Law Unions scheduled in Schedule D of the Bill referred to by the noble Lord were scheduled before the 29th of February last. No distressed Union has been scheduled since that date.
