§ MR. ARTHUR O'CONNORasked the Secretary to the Treasury, Whether the Commission appointed early in the year to inquire into the Barrow Drainage has yet proceeded to work, and if he can say where and when it is proposed to take evidence, and what (if any) further surveys are considered necessary; and, whether they have yet been directed, and how long they are expected to take?
§ MR. CAMPBELL -BANNERMANMy hon. Friend has asked me to answer this Question. The Secretary of the Commission informs me that they held their first meeting last month, and adjourned until they got the valuation, which is being made. This they expect to get in a few days, and they will then at once arrange for local sittings. No further surveys will be necessary.
