HC Deb 01 May 1885 vol 297 c1314
MR. GRAY

asked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, Whether it is his intention to redeem the pledge given by the Irish Government to introduce a Bill to extend the Borough Funds Act to Ireland?

MR. CAMPBELL-BANNERMAN

The Government are prepared to support the Bill which the hon. Member has brought in on this question, subject to an Amendment which I believe the hon. Member does not object to.

MR. GRAY

Owing to the Bill being blocked, will the right hon. Gentleman consider whether he can give me some facilities to press forward the Bill?

MR. CAMPBELL-BANNERMAN

I cannot make a promise; but I will be very glad to assist the hon. Member.
