HC Deb 16 August 1881 vol 265 c32
MR. MACFARLANE

asked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, If he had taken any steps to procure the Return he promised of the extent and number of town parks in Ireland?

MR. W. E. FORSTER

, in reply, said, he had been in communication with the Department in Dublin upon the subject, and he found there was great difficulty in preparing the Return referred to, in consequence of the inability of the compilers in all cases to define what a town park was. He had not finished his inquiries yet, and he would answer the Question further before the end of the Session.
