HC Deb 14 February 1884 vol 284 cc865-6
MR. T. A. DICKSON

asked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, When he expects to lay upon the Table of the House the Report of the Board of Works upon the drainage of the Lower Bann?

MR. COURTNEY

Sir, the Report on the drainage of the Lower Bann is expected to be in the hands of Government in about a month from now. Until it has been received I cannot say what Papers should be laid before Parliamen on the subject; but care will be taken to announce the decision to those interested at the earliest possible moment.
