§ MR. BLAKEasked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, Whether, as the Sea Fisheries (Ireland) Bill, which stood for Second Reading on August second, had to be withdrawn in consequence of the appropriation of the days of private Members by Government, he will be kind enough to undertake, during the Recess, to make inquiries with a view of ascertaining the desirability of extending the loan system to the eight maritime counties of Ireland not having the benefit of the Reproductive Loan Fund Act, and devising means for the purpose?
§ MR. TREVELYANThis seems to be a matter for the Treasury and Board of Works to consider, and I will communicate with them on the subject.
