§ MR. DUCKHAMasked the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, Whether the Agricultural Returns for Ireland will in future be published with those for Great Britain?
§ MR. DODSON, in reply, said, that the Irish statistics in these matters were collected by the Irish Government, and by different machinery from that by which they were collected in England. They were very much fuller in Ireland, and consequently were somewhat later. He presumed no one would wish the English statistics to be delayed. Whether the Irish statistics could be accelerated was a question which he could not answer.
§ MR. DUCKHAMCould not the Irish statistics he pressed forward?
§ MR. DODSONThat is a matter for the Irish Government. I represent the English Department.
§ MR. ARTHUR O'CONNORCould not the right hon. Gentleman make inquiries, and see whether the Irish Returns could not be got out a little earlier?
§ MR. DODSONThat is a Question which should be addressed to the Irish Government.
