HC Deb 12 June 1884 vol 289 cc71-2
SIR GEORGE CAMPBELL

asked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, If he will lay before the House the result of his inquiries into the employment of migratory Irish agricultural labourers in the north of England and south of Scotland, and the causes of the diminished inflow of those labourers in recent years?

MR. TREVELYAN

The Registrar General of Ireland was good enough, at my request, to examine the Reports received by him on this subject, and to prepare a Memorandum showing the results of those inquiries. I have no objection to a copy of that Memorandum being laid upon the Table, if my hon. Friend wishes to move for it. The original Reports themselves are, I think, too bulky and voluminous to be presented with advantage.

SIR GEORGE CAMPBELL

asked that a copy of the Memorandum might be laid upon the Table.

MR. TREVELYAN

I will do so.
