§ MR. SEXTON (Belfast, W.)asked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, Whether, as stated in the Public Press, the Government intend to introduce a measure for the establishment of Local Courts of Bankruptcy in Ireland; and, if so, on or about what date?
§ THE CHIEF SECRETARY (Sir MICHAEL HICKS-BEACH) (Bristol, W.)This is a matter with which, I think, Parliament ought to deal; but I observe that Notice has been given of more than one Bill on the subject, and I hope that the hon. Members who are in charge of them may be more successful in finding opportunities for their discussion, than, judging from past experience, the Government is likely to have. I should be glad to give any aid in my power in the matter.
