REGISTRATION OF PARLIAMENTARY ELECTORS (IRELAND)—COST OF PREPARING LISTS.

HC Deb 16 April 1885 vol 296 c1852

MR. SHEIL

asked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, Whether he will advise that the cost of preparing the Parliamentary Voters List be a charge upon the Consolidated Fund, instead of on the poor rates?

MR. CAMPBELL-BANNERMAN

In Ireland, as in England, the cost referred to is a charge upon local rates. I am not aware of any intention to make any alteration in the law in this respect.
