HC Deb 03 July 1883 vol 281 c178
COLONEL KING-HARMAN

asked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, If he will give some intimation, during the present Session, of the manner in which Her Majesty's Government propose to deal with the question of harmless lunatics and idiots in Ireland; and, if he will endeavour to bring in a Bill early next Session to legislate on this important subject?

MR. TREVELYAN

I do not think I could satisfactorily enter upon this subject in replying to a Question; but perhaps I may find an opportunity of doing so when the Estimate for the Lunacy Department is under consideration. I will endeavour to bring in a Bill next Session, should the Bill which has already been introduced in "another place" not reach the House this Session.
