HC Deb 11 March 1886 vol 303 c454
MR. TUITE (Westmeath, N.)

asked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, Whether, in case of an appeal to the Irish Privy Council against an improvement scheme sanctioned by the Irish Local Government Board, under authority of the Labourers (Ireland) Acts, 1883 and 1885, the success of the appeal in regard to the merits of any portion of an improvement scheme leads to the rejection of the whole?

THE CHIEF SECRETARY (Mr. JOHN MORLEY) (Newcastle-on-Tyne)

, in reply, said, the success of an appeal in regard to the merits of any portion of an improvement scheme did not necessarily lead to the rejection of the whole scheme. The Lord Lieutenant in Council might confirm the whole scheme, or might disallow it, or amend and modify it under terms and conditions set forth in the Order in Council.
