HC Deb 28 June 1880 vol 253 c1083

Bill considered in Committee.

(In the Committee.)

MAJOR NOLAN

said, he should like to know whether, by this Bill, any new fees were imposed on the people for births and deaths; and, also, whether under it any new charges were imposed on Poor Law Unions?

MR. M. BROOKS

said, that having been in the Committee on the Bill he could answer the question. It was a Bill simply to assimilate the law in Ireland to that in England, and it would not impose any fees in consequence of the change.

MR. ERRINGTON

said, he merely proposed to go into the Committee pro forma, and to sit again at a future day.

MAJOR NOLAN

would like to have an answer to his question before the Bill went further, either from the Government or the hon. Member for Longford.

MR. ERRINGTON

said, certain changes had been made in the Bill by which certain charges were increased; but other charges were so much diminished that the balance would be in favour of the alteration. He begged to move that the Committee report Progress.

Motion agreed to.

Committee report Progress; to sit again upon Monday next.
