HC Deb 07 May 1885 vol 297 cc1839-40
COLONEL NOLAN

asked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, If he would extend by a year the time allowed the Unions to collect Seed Rate; and, if this extension can be legally granted by an order of the Local Government Board or the Treasury, or if special legislation would be requisite?

MR. CAMPBELL - BANNERMAN

There does not appear to be any necessity for this extension of time, which would require legislation. It is open to any Board of Guardians desiring additional time to make application to the Board of Works, who, I believe, usually accede to any request of the kind made on reasonable grounds.
