HC Deb 07 June 1886 vol 306 c1138
MR. T. M. HEALY (Londonderry, S.)

asked the Secretary to the Treasury, If he has yet been able to decide on initiating any legislation respecting the Bann Drainage and Navigation question?

THE SECRETARY TO THE TREASURY (Mr. HENRY H. FOWLER) (Wolverhampton, E.)

The question of the River Bann Drainage and Navigation is one that has been before many Secretaries to the Treasury, and I think that a final decision should be taken as soon as possible. I may repeat that, as I said in my answer to the hon. Member some days ago, the Treasury will look with favour upon a proposal to consolidate the Drainage and Navigation Boards.
